🐾 BFES Families: Check-In & Check-Out Reminders 🐾

As we work together to keep our Bulldogs safe and maximize instructional time, please remember these important procedures for arriving late or leaving school early:

⏰ Late Check-In: If a student arrives after the school day begins, a parent/guardian must park in a designated space and accompany the student to the office window to check in.

🏫 Early Check-Out: Parents/legal guardians checking students out early must come to the main office. Our office staff will assist you with signing your child out.

📝 Checking Out With Someone Else: If a student will be checking out with someone other than their parent/legal guardian, please send a note to the office first thing in the morning so our staff can verify the checkout arrangements with the parent/legal guardian.

🪪 A photo ID is required for student checkout.

🕗 School Begins: 7:50 A.M.
🕒 School Ends: 3:05 P.M.

Thank you for helping us keep our students safe while protecting valuable learning time each day!

🐾 Be Kind. Be Strong. Be Well. Be You.
❤️ Leave your pawprint on the world!

📚🐾 **HANDBOOK HIGHLIGHTS: ATTENDANCE MATTERS!** 🐾

Bulldog families, regular attendance is one of the most important factors in student success! Every day at school is another opportunity for our Bulldogs to **learn, grow, connect, and succeed.** ❤️🖤

As we begin a great school year, please keep these important attendance reminders in mind:

⏰ Half-Day Requirement: Students must be present for at least one-half of the instructional day to be counted present. Lunch is not considered instructional time.

📝 Absence Notes: When your child returns after an absence, please send a doctor’s note or parent/guardian note within 3 school days explaining the reason for the absence.

✏️ Parent Notes: Families may submit up to six handwritten parent notes** during the school year. After six handwritten notes, a **doctor’s note will be required** for future absences.

👥 **Attendance Meetings:** If a student accumulates 6 unexcused or 10 excused absences, the school will schedule an attendance meeting with the family to develop a plan to improve attendance.

⚠️ Truancy:10 unexcused absences becomes truancy.

📅 Don’t Forget the Note! If documentation is not received within 3 days, the absence will be marked *unexcused*.

Thank you, Bulldog families, for partnering with us to make sure our students are at school, on time, and ready to learn each day! Together, we can make every school day count. 🐾

❤️ Be Kind. Be Strong. Be Well. Be You. 🖤
