New “Pickup
Pass” Policy for September
In order to tighten security at the school, we are now asking
all parents and caregivers who come to the school to bring a BFS
Pickup Pass (four of which are being mailed to all parents).
In keeping with our BFS culture, we have wanted to maintain a friendly
and open lobby. However, it is important to ensure that we know
at any given time who is in the building apart from the students
and staff. The new pickup passes will help in this process. All
other visitors who come to the school will be expected to sign
in and receive a visitor pass.
At the busiest times of the day (7:45 to 9 am and 2:45 to 3:30
pm) security personnel will now be positioned at a podium by the
glass doors to check the BFS passes of parents and caregivers and
to ask all other visitors to check in at the front reception desk.
At other times of the day, parents and caregivers are to show passes
at the reception desk.
Security arrangements for the Afterschool program will remain
the same as they were at the end of last year. That is, in order
to pickup your child from Afterschool, you will need a pink Pickup
Pass, available at the front desk after signing in. This pass is
turned into your child’s Afterschool teacher. The parent
or caregiver then signs out when exiting from the lobby.
We ask all parents and guardians to abide by these procedures.
Although in some ways they can be seen as a personal inconvenience,
it is one of those inconveniences necessary to bear in order for
everyone to be benefited by the confidence that our children are
safe.
