In an effort to ensure smooth dismissal, students will need to know their Car Tag Number.
If your child will be a car rider in the afternoons on a regular basis and have not gotten a 26-27 Car Tag Number, you will need to do so in the front office.
If your child is waiting to be added to a bus route, they will be given a temporary car tag and will not be assigned a Car Tag number.
You must have the current 26-27 BES Car Tag in order to pick up a child through the afternoon carpool line. If you forget your Car Tag, you will be asked to park, go into the office, show your ID and sign out your child.
Thank you for supporting our safety and security protocols and assisting your child in learning their Car Tag Number.

If your child will be an afternoon Car Rider, you can request a Car Tag in advance!

If you have your tag from a previous school year, it is not valid and you will need to request a new tag for this current school year.

If you have any questions please contact Lisa McDowell.

Please fill out this form to request an afternoon Car Tag Number for the 2026-2027 school year. If you submit this from prior to August 14th, then Car Tags will be ready for you to pick up at Orientation in your child's classroom -- you can skip the line! Numbered Car Tags are ONLY used for students...
