Dear Bengal Families,

Thank you for helping us ensure dismissal is safe, organized, and efficient for all students. Please review and follow these important dismissal expectations:

🚗 Car Riders: Parents/guardians MUST remain in their vehicles at all times. Please do not park, exit your vehicle, or walk to the dismissal area to retrieve your child. Remaining in your car allows our dismissal process to move safely and efficiently.
🏷️ Walk-Up Pick-Up: Any parent/guardian who walks up to pick up a student MUST have the student’s official car/dismissal tag. For student safety, students will not be released without the appropriate tag.
🚶 Walkers: Students who are designated as walkers must follow all campus and pedestrian safety expectations. Students should walk on designated sidewalks and cross only at the designated crosswalk.
⚠️ Center Street: For the safety of our students, walkers should NOT cross Center Street. Families should not instruct students to cross Center Street to meet a parent, guardian, or vehicle.
🚦 Crosswalk Safety: Students and families must follow the directions of staff and crossing guards and use the designated crosswalk only when crossing a street.
Please follow the designated dismissal routes and directions provided by Burgin staff.
Have your dismissal tag visible and ready to help keep dismissal moving efficiently.

These procedures are not optional—they are in place to protect every Bengal. We ask all families to follow the established dismissal procedures each day and to model safe practices for our students.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and partnership as we work together to keep our Bengals safe!
