All BES parents have been notified of the pick up procedure at Shoal Creek Baptist Church. Thank you for your patience as BES staff takes every precaution to ensure students are signed out correctly and safely.
Due to a possible gas leak at Burnsville Elementary School from construction, we are releasing those students early. All other schools will stay in session as normal for the remainder of the day. All students are safe and accounted for and are being taken to Shoal Creek Baptist Church. Please be patient as a system for pickup will take a bit to get into place. We will keep everyone updated as we receive them.

8th Grade families, tomorrow is our trip to Dollywood. If your student is attending, they should arrive at school no later than 6:45am. Students should bring or eat breakfast before they load the bus. Students are allowed to bring their phone and snacks. Students will be given a lunch voucher, and refillable cup, but should bring money for extra food, drinks or souvenirs. Students are required to be in a group of at least 3 at all times, and to check in with teachers throughout the day. After leaving Dollywood, students will eat at Cici's pizza and return home around 9:30pm. Your student will text or call with an updated arrival time. Parents will follow the normal pickup route, entering through the lower gate.
Message from EY: the 7th grade field trip will be back at 4:30 due to an unexpected delay.
Hey everyone it’s Mrs. Leigh Davis with some important updates about our upcoming 7th Grade iFLY field trip on Monday, April 14th. If your child is going on the trip, you need to be at school by 6:45 AM. That means set your alarms and don’t be late—we’ll be leaving right on time at 7am! Also, you’ll need to be picked up that afternoon at 4:00 PM, not 5 like we originally said. We’ll get back to school around 4, and we’ll unload the bus together. Parents will line up, like usual afternoon pickup and your student will be called out to you. Here are a few reminders for what your child should wear and bring if they are participating in the indoor skydiving portion of the trip: Wear comfortable clothes. Make sure shoes tie and stay on your feet—no slides or flip flops, crocs, or hey dudes! Leave jewelry and watches at home. We don’t want anything to get lost or broken. Get ready for a fun day
Good evening, this is Mr. Byland with a few announcements, This coming week, 7th grade will be going on a field trip on Monday and will need to be dropped off by 6:45 and picked up at 4pm. 8th grade will be doing so on Wednesday, with students being dropped off at EY by 6:45am and pick up somewhere between 9:00-10:00pm. Students will text or call when we start home. Students will take a very abbreviated assessment this week in math and ELA to discover any gaps in learning we may still need to cover before testing. School is a half day on Thursday and there is no school on Friday. Thanks and as always, GO PANTHERS!!
