Dear Bedford Primary School Parents and Guardians,
I am excited to begin another year at Bedford Primary School and look forward to working with each
student and family. I also look forward to working with the excellent staff and supportive community as
we continue to assist our students. We continue to be proud of the social, behavioral, and academic
progress that our students continue to make with the support of their teachers, family, and the
community as a whole. Our theme for the upcoming year is “Little Learners, Bright Futures”. With this
theme you will see bright colors throughout the building. Please join us in supporting our students in
building skills and celebrating the learning of all of our students academically and socially.
The school schedule for the 2026-2027 school year is as follows. Our instructional day begins at 7:45 am
and school is dismissed beginning at 2:15 pm. To ensure student safety, students will be allowed to
enter the building no earlier than 7:15 am when staff are available to provide supervision. If you bring
your child to school after 7:45 am, he/she will be tardy and you will need to work with office staff to
have them signed in tardy. Free breakfast is available and will be served in the cafeteria until the tardy
bell and in a grab and go format after the tardy bell to allow students who arrive late to eat
breakfast. Breakfast will be available in the cafeteria from 7:15-7:45 a.m. If your child is a car rider,
please ensure that they arrive early enough to allow them time to eat breakfast and not miss important
instructional time.
Please remember that car riders should be dropped off and picked up at the side entrance to the
cafeteria, and only bus riders will be dropped off in the front circle until 7:45 a.m. This enables us to
closely monitor the safety of all students. If you do walk your child to school, you will be expected to
separate from your child at the school office as opposed to walking to the classroom. Dismissal will
begin at 2:15 p.m. each day. However, if you need to pick them up instead of having them ride the bus,
please remember to send a note to the teacher or call the school prior to dismissal and by 2:00 p.m. to
allow time for the change to be communicated to your child’s teacher.
Important information will be provided in the beginning of the year mailing to each family with your
child’s teacher assignment along with information provided at the Open House. As a safety precaution,
be reminded that in order to sign your child out of school you will be required to utilize a driver’s
license or state issued identification card each and every time. It is also important to note that the
school's front doors will remain locked during the day. You will need to ring the doorbell between the
main front doors to be allowed entrance to the school in order to complete any necessary and essential
tasks including to pick up or drop off your child.
I look forward to working with each and every child and parent as we dive into learning and strive for
success. I know that this will be another great school year!
Sincerely,
Lisa L. Dellis
