Important Notices: 

The Environmental Protection Agency requires that each year, schools notify parents, teachers, and students in writing about the availability of Management Plans for asbestos materials identified in each school. The letter for Bexley Elementary School is attached. Our school was built in 2017, after asbestos was no longer allowed in the building of public school buildings.

The renewal of Pasco County Schools' Salary Referendum is on the ballot in November. To learn how the Referendum has impacted our schools, please visit Pasco Schools' Referendum Renewal.

School Reminders:
We will continue to include these in our weekly email as we address these issues on campus.

Car Riders

• Please bring your dismissal tag every day for drop off and pick up. Remember to take it down from your mirror as soon as your child is unloaded at arrival or loaded at dismissal.
• Please refrain from being on your cell phone in the car rider line. 
• Arrival - We will begin closing the car rider line at 9:40 am each morning. If you arrive after that time, please plan to park and walk your child into the office.

Hiker/Bikers

• If your child is a Hiker/Biker STOP, please bring your dismissal tag every day to pick up. 
• Please remind your “bikers” that they must walk their bike/skateboard/scooter on to and off of our Bexley campus, and wear helmets everyday.

Dismissal

• If you plan to change your child's dismissal, this must occur before 2:30 pm at this link: https://bes.pasco.k12.fl.us/mform/view.php?id=13355
• If you plan to pick up your child early, this must occur before 3:00 pm. 
• Car line dismissal - if your child is delayed getting to the numbered pole during dismissal, we will ask you to pull up to the yellow cone in front of the car lanes, and your child will be escorted to your vehicle. 

Absences

• If your child is absent, please be sure to report this through your parent portal. 
• For step-by-step instructions and helpful resources, please visit: 👉 www.pasco.k12.fl.us/attendance/absence 

Please remind your Bulldog of our school expectations every day.

• Be respectful.
• Be responsible.
• Be safe.

We love our families to visit our campus, and want to remind you that you must bring your ID every time. Help us keep our Bulldogs safe.

We look forward to seeing you this week!

With Bulldog Pride,
Vanessa Hilton
Principal
Bexley Elementary School
