KINDERGARTEN ONLY DROP-OFF (ONLY AVAILABLE AUGUST 6 - OCTOBER 8)
Kindergarten students and their siblings can be dropped off behind the Kindergarten Building in their own drop off car line during the first 9 weeks of the school year (August 6 - October 8). After the first 9 weeks, they will join the regular car drop off line.
Kindergarten parents must enter the parking lot from the Home Avenue entrance, and proceed straight ahead towards the Kindergarten Building.
*CAUTION* Kindergarten families will need to watch the School Staff Member in the parking lot to see if it is safe to cross the line of traffic. More than likely, you will need to wait as the car line clears before crossing.
Please have students exit the car on the right-hand side (closest to the building).
Parents CAN NOT exit the car, school staff will be available to help any students, if needed.
Please wait for the last car to unload students before you exit, DO NOT pull around other cars, for the safety of our students and staff.

Safety cones will be moved at 2:30pm and parents can then begin lining up for pick up.
Staff will be present in the parking lot to help direct traffic, please respect the safety of the staff and look for their direction, if necessary.
Please pull cars up as close to each other as possible to allow for more space to accomodate as many cars as possible per row.
Kindergarten parents must be in line by 2:50pm to use the Kindergarten-only pick up line, after 2:50pm they will need to join one of the other 7 pick up lines.
The first line (far east side of parking lot, near Northside MS) is for Kindergarten students & siblings only.
The 7 lines to the west are for any students in grades K-8.
Student dismissal begins at 3:00pm.
The Kindergarten pick up line will exit at the 27th Street exit.

All of our students are eligible to ride the BCSC buses. BCSC provides this service to our students.
St. Bartholomew students ride the high school buses, not elementary buses.
Most students will get on a bus at their home then transfer to a second bus at either North or East high school, depending on where you live.
The transfer bus will then drop them off directly at St. Bartholomew School via the door off Home Avenue.
For afternoon pick up, the East bus picks up student from the Home Avenue door, North bus students walk with teachers down to North High School and get directly on their buses at North.
If you would like to have your child(ren) ride the bus in the morning and/or afternoon please contact Mrs. Lamadrid to fill out a BCSC Bus Form. Mrs. Lamadrid can be reached at: 812-379-9353 ext 1221 or
