First Week of School Notes and Reminders

We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow. Here are a few notes and reminders as we start the school year:

Procare Connect

You only need to sign your child in and out daily using Procare if they are in pre-kindergarten (3-year-old and VPK). If your child is in grades K - 10, you will need access to Procare to sign in for them if they are late or to sign out for an early pick-up. 

Please verify that the Procare app is installed and working on your phone. Let us know if you need any help getting set up. We are happy to help.

Drop-Off

All families are welcome to use the drop-off area. The marked yellow space is directly in front of the main access ramp. If using the drop-off, we ask you to please:

• pull fully forward
• remain in your vehicle
• ensure your children only exit from the passenger side of your vehicle

Please park in a designated space if you need to unload anything from your car or need assistance.

Students may arrive at school beginning at 7:50 a.m. The drop-off area will close at 8:00 a.m. If coming after 8:00, please bring your child to the office for late sign-in.

For the safety of all families, do not use your mobile phone while driving within the parking area.

Lunch 

If you opt to bring your child’s lunch to school after arrival, please deliver it to the school office at least 10 minutes before their lunch time:

• Bhakti Bhavan - 11:00 a.m.
• Audarya Bhavan - 11:15 a.m.
• Madhurya Bhavan - 11:45 a.m.
• Krishna Sharanam - 12:15 p.m.

Early Dismissal

Students in grades 1 - 10 are dismissed at 2:00 p.m. on Wednesdays. We know it can be confusing, especially in the early weeks of school, so we encourage you to set a reminder to establish the routine.

Worship Wednesday

We are resuming our once-weekly morning start at the New Raman Reti Temple for students in Audarya Bhavan, Madhurya Bhavan, and Krishna Sharanam. All students in these classes will begin their day by being dropped off at the temple at 7:20 a.m. This will start on Wednesday, September 28. 

As always, reach out to the school office at office@bhaktischool.org or 386-462-2886 if we can be of any help.

See you tomorrow!
