Important Information at BVE:
Attendance--Parents and guardians will be able to submit absence requests via the Parent Portal. Parents can request a full day absence, early dismissal, or late arrival. Absence requests will be reviewed by School Attendance Staff and approved or denied.
Requests made using the Parent Portal will also serve as the excuse for the absence. Parents will not be required to submit an excuse either electronically or written if submitted on the Parent Portal.
Family travel/vacation requests — Please submit all travel requests through the Parent Portal. School Board Policy states that only 5 days per year may be approved for family trips. Any days beyond the initial five days per year will be considered unexcused absences.
Arrival and dismissal—Student arrival begins at 8:15am until classes start at 8:35am. Please do not drop your students off prior to 8:15am as our staff supervision does not begin until then. For the safety of our students, we ask that you sign your children in at the office if they arrive to school after 8:35am.
Dismissal begins at 3:15pm. Most buses have left the building by about 3:35pm.
During car rider dismissal, we ask that you please wait in the car line, remain in your vehicle, and have your child enter your vehicle from the sidewalk side for safety purposes.
Safety information—During school hours all exterior doors are locked. All visitors are required to use the main entrance. Please ring the buzzer, sign-in at the office, show identification, and wear a visitor’s badge.
