Beacon City School District is looking at improving safety of the children and adults during drop off and pick times at Sargent School.  In response to all your concerns we are making some major changes for the opening of school and ask for your cooperation in making the changes work. 

First, we are switching the Bus loop and student drop off areas.  The student drop off and pick up area will be in the rear of Sargent School using the access road off of 9D (Wolcott Avenue).  Parents can drive around the loop using the inner  lane to drop off or pick up.  If a parent chooses to park, they will use the loop outer lane and proceed “slowly” to the newly reconstructed parking lot, which will have 50 dedicated spots for parents. The buses will travel up Sargent Avenue and use the reconstructed upper level loop. For the residents on Sargent please note there are less bus runs than a few years back (no mid day runs) and we are taking measures to keep traffic to a minimum by making these changes.

Parents will not have access to the parking lot area off Sargent Avenue.  There will be NO drop off point for students on the upper level for safety issues.  This area will be for Buses and Staff parking only.

For walkers they should use either the sidewalks along the lower access road or the newly constructed pedestrian walkway connecting Sargent Avenue (across from Sycamore Drive) to Sargent School, thus avoiding walking through the Administration Building parking lot. Your cooperation in making these changes successful is requested.

If you would like to register your child(ren) in the Beacon City School District , please pick up a registration packet at our Central Administration Office Building  and make an appointment with our registrar, Gail Morgan ,to complete the registration process  (if you already have a packet, you can call her: 845-838-6900 x2002 to schedule an appointment).

Thank you for your cooperation.
