Hey BME families! It was great to see so many smiling faces today at Meet the Teacher. We wanted to share the car rider line map with you all, especially our new families. Big thanks to Teeny Pineda for creating this. We will have signs directing you where to turn for the car rider line. We do the same process for drop off and pick up. Please allow extra time and patience this first week. Drop off starts at 7:30am and pick up will start around 2:40. A staff member will let you know when to start the line if you are the first car. Please reach out if you have questions.

We are so excited to welcome families to our Meet the Teacher event on Friday, August 21st 9am-11:30am. Bus information, car rider tags, after school information, our amazing PTO, and free school supplies (while they last) will be in the gym. We’ll have staff members directing people where to go if you need help. Pelican’s will be out front if you are interested in purchasing something sweet. We can’t wait to see you all soon!

Hi BME families! Here are our school supply lists again in case you missed it. These are also on our BME website. We can’t wait to see you all soon! ❤️
