Mountaineer Monthly
September 2021
Welcome to the 2021-2022 School Year!
* Please note - Our building has been under construction all summer and some rooms may not be completely set up on Friday. Our teachers are working hard to get things ready under the circumstances.
School Begins Tuesday, September 7th for all students in Grades K-5. Pre-K students will follow the schedule that was sent in the mail.
Welcome to a new school year! We are so excited to have all of our students back in person for five days a week this year. We have many new families who have moved into our district and we are excited to welcome you to our school community.
I will send this newsletter monthly to help keep you informed of all events and information regarding BES. I will occasionally send emails, or School Messenger calls to remind you of important information. I can always be reached by email tkent@berlincentral.org as well.
I am looking forward to a great year of teaching and learning.
Best,
Tracy Kent, Principal

Student Drop Off/Pick Up by car
Student Drop Off
Student drop off begins at 8:50 am and runs through 9:05 am. Students will not be allowed to enter the building prior to 8:50am. Please do not drop off prior to this time.
All vehicles must enter from the south end of the building at South East Hollow. You will turn left into the drop off lane from SE Hollow (as you enter from Route 22) that runs parallel to the building.
Please stay in line and move forward until you are near the front of the line.
Staff members will greet two cars at a time and allow students to exit the vehicle. Parents should remain in their vehicle.
Staff members will be on hand to walk students to the building.
Pull forward and exit on the north end of the building.
Please help the line move quickly by having your child ready to exit the car as you approach our staff.
Student Pick Up
Students pick up begins at 3:00 pm.
Parents should arrive and park in the open parking spots. We are opening up many more spots for parent parking.
Please exit your vehicle, walk to the sidewalk and wait in line (please socially distance) to pick up your child.
A staff member will call for your child and ask you to sign them out.
We implemented these procedures last school year and they really helped to streamline arrival and dismissal. Thank you parents for your cooperation.
