BIS's dedicated staff and administration are eager to get the year started. Before school starts, we'd like to share some important information with you.
At Biddeford Intermediate School, we prioritize creating a safe and effective learning environment. Our Parent Handbook can be found on our website, where you will find important information about our procedures and district policies. Please take a moment to review it.
Morning Drop Off:
Buses will come through the front bus loop at 7:40am. At that same time, in the back of the school, cars may come through the drop-off loop, accessed by Tiger Way. Staff members will be available to assist in getting students into the building. There is no parking during morning drop off, and parents are asked to stay in their car. We ask that you pull up, and students be ready to exit the car. Students need to be in class by 7:50am every day, otherwise they are considered tardy, and must report to the office in the front of the building.
Afternoon Dismissal:
Similar to drop off, students will be released to the front loop as buses arrive. Dismissal begins at 2:15pm. Parent pick-up will take place at the same drop off location in the back loop. Please keep to the right, and DO NOT DOUBLE PARK. Our staff will be out there to assist. A map is included in this mailing for you to reference. If, on occasion, you require a change in dismissal plans, please send a note with your child on that day, or call the school by 1:00pm.
First Day of School:
Grades 3 and 4 will both return to school on August 28, 2024. Upon arrival students will go straight to their classroom. We will have staff available to help students who are not sure where to go.
