Arrival and Dismissal
A few reminders…
Sooner Road will be closed between the EC Parking Lot and the IS Parking Lot for an hour each morning and afternoon. Pedestrian traffic may enter the barricaded area at the crosswalk. There will not be any car traffic allowed inside the barricades. Please see the pictures below for the details. The preferred way of drop off for car riders is driving through the West Parking lot. Students will exit the car at the blue awning. We are discouraging parking and walking after the first day.
Parents can walk students to the entry of the building in the morning but may not enter the building. Entry points are on the West side of BCIS at the blue awning, the front doors by the office and the front doors of the 3/4 Building.
Afternoon pickup will be like last school year. Parents will park and walk to the pickup areas. Parents will receive car rider pickup cards after school tomorrow. Please bring the card everyday for pick up. We will have plenty of staff outside directing you to the correct location.
Let’s have a great day tomorrow! We will be very flexible and patient for the first few days.
