Arrival/Dismissal
We need your help to keep everyone safe at arrival & dismissal. We recognize that due to our location, parking and student drop-off/pick-up can be a challenge.
We give our students safety reminders every day at dismissal, but need your help as well.
We want to make sure everyone gets in and out of school safely. Please help us with the items below:
Please use crosswalks: We ask that students and parents please use designated crosswalks. Cutting across the street at other spots is dangerous with traffic in the area.
Please observe no parking zones: Please refrain from parking in the designated No Parking zones at the corner of Gray & W. Cedar. Parking in those zones limits the ability for traffic to make turns and makes it difficult to see people in the crosswalk.
Please pull forward: We know that this is easier said than done, but please try and pull forward as far as you can when dropping off/picking up. IF we maximize our use of the curb/sidewalk in front of the school things will move more quickly.
U-Turns: We ask that parents & caregivers please refrain from making U-turns in front of the school.
It's not always easy, but if we all work together on the above items, we can make the best of a challenging situation and keep everyone safe. We have had reminders in the Bulletin throughout the year. Webster Police Department may be helping us keep everyone safe by in the coming days with reminders and enforcement.
Thank you for helping us stay safe!

Entering the Building, Visiting During School Hours
Upon your first visit, you will be asked for your ID to scan into our system for the 2018-2019 school year. Once you scan in this school year, you will not need to repeat this process. You will just be asked for your name so that we can print your visitor badge.
Thank you for your support as we work to keep our Bulldogs safe!

Thank you!
Lost & Found
UMSL Studio School
We are excited to let your know that beginning this year, Bristol Elementary will be an UMSL Studio School. This is a great opportunity to support our profession in developing strong educators for the future while also drawing on their knowledge and skills to support our work with our young learners.
This UMSL educator preparation program offers an innovative model of clinical experience... a modern take on traditional “student teaching”. A cohort of these teacher interns (also called practicum students) will be joining us starting this Fall!
These teacher interns are aspiring educators who enroll in practicum courses as they complete UMSL's teacher preparation program. They are immersed in Studio School sites where they are regarded as full members of the staff as they work with teaching staff, UMSL Clinical Educators, and Bristol Administration in support of student learning and growth. All interns have been approved by WGSD Human Resources Department.
We are very happy to introduce you to our first cohort of Studio School Candidates:
· Reghan Cevasco
· Brendan Doyle
· Stephanie Rodriguez Joos
· Molly Streeter
· Caitlin Carney
· Katherine Swartz
