We are trying to hire noon supervisors. If you or anyone you know are interested in working at Bancroft just 8 hours a week, please click on the link here or go to the district website. All our lunch supervisors were parents of former students that just wanted to work where their child attended school. It's a win-win for all.

Thank you for continued support at arriving and leaving school each day. We are seeing great improvements with the flow of traffic.

To help facilitate a smooth and safe drop-off/pick-up in a timely manner, please:

 Drive carefully and slowly. Leave a little earlier so that can slow down as you approach our school.

 Use the arrival and departure paths indicated on the map below. Enter and exit Parish Dr from Arkell.

 Do not stop in the middle of the street to drop-off or pick-up children. Bicycles and cars attempt to pass

and this can cause accidents.

 Do not make U-turns on any street. Follow the paths on the map below to exit the neighborhood.

 Do not drop off in the handicap parking spaces unless authorized.

 Pedestrians have the right of way! Stop at all stop signs and crosswalks.

 Once in the drop-off loop, please pull all the way forward before stopping to keep the flow of traffic going

smoothly.

 Children should be ready to exit the car when you pull up - backpack ready and goodbyes said, then exit curbside for a great day. (DO NOT LEAVE VEHICLES UNATTENDED)

 Have your child exit the car only from passenger side of the vehicle when using the drop-off loop. Those who have already dropped off their children will be utilizing the adjacent drive-thru lane.

 Remember the Bus Circle is for Busses Only. Do not drop off or park in this area.

 Pedestrians – please follow crossing guard directions and wait for them to stop traffic before crossing at the corner of Claborne Dr. and Parish Rd.

Crosswalks & Crossing Gaurds: Pedestrians should use the crosswalks when crossing the streets around the school. If crossing guards are posted at the intersection you are crossing (Treat/Carriage and Claborne/Parish), please respect the directions of the crossing guard and wait for escort across the street.

Bicycles and Scooters: Bicyclists and scooter riders must wear helmets. Bicycles and scooters must be walked on campus, on the sidewalks around the campus, and across crosswalks.

Late arrival: Bancroft closes its campus shortly after the bell rings for class instruction to begin. If your student arrives late and the doors are closed, they should ring the doorbell at the front office and sign in. Younger students are then escorted by office staff to their respective classes.

Pets: No pets are allowed on campus at any time.

On-Campus Safety/Visitation: For the protection of our children, Bancroft Elementary is a closed campus. If you are going to be on campus or need to take your child out of school during the school day, you need to obtain entrance to the office by ringing the doorbell at the front office.

 All persons on campus are required to wear either a school district photo ID or a visitor badge.

o Sign yourself in on the visitor clipboard in the office and get a visitor badge.

o All classroom volunteers must be fingerprinted and cleared through MDUSD.

 To take your child out of school during the day, notify office staff and use the student sign-outs

clipboard.
