Important Dismissal Reminders

In order to make the dismissal process run smoothly please remember these following guidelines:

  • Please do not buckle your child in their car seat in the pick-up line. Pull down the street and then stop to secure them. It keeps the line moving.

  • Please make sure your car seat is on the passenger side. All students must be loaded from the sidewalk, not the street. Safety first!

  • Please do not block driveways while waiting in line. We want to be respectful of our neighbors.

  • Please keep your car sign visible until your child is loaded. If you need another car sign, please contact Mr. Lynch.

  • Please stay in your car during pickup. When you get out of your it slows the process down dramatically.

  • Please do not park in the school parking lot when picking up your child. Please enter the car pickup line along with everyone else.
OptionC Login

OptionC is our primary communication and student management system. If you do not have your OptionC login, please contact Mr. Lynch
Reserved Parking and First in Line

There are two reserved parking spaces in the school parking lot and two in the church parking lot marked "Reserved for Friends of BSS". You may have also noticed a car pulling up to the front of the dismissal car pickup line. These items were won at our annual school auction and the winners paid good money for these privileges.

Please be respectful and do not park in these spaces, and please don't be angry when you see a car head to the front of the line. Instead, come to our school auction on March 21st and bid on them yourselves!
Welcome Back to School Mass at Blessed Sacrament Church

A Time for Twos

Blessed Sacrament School’s Time for Twos program is designed as a gentle introduction to school. Our program encourages children to work in a group, explore new materials, and make age-appropriate 
development transitions.

Our Program
Time for Twos meets on Wednesdays for a six week session in the Fall (September to October). The 45-minute meetings are led by Program Director, Jill Zang Glenn. Each child must be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or caregiver

A typical meeting includes an art project, free play, story and music.
Session dates are: September 25th and October 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th

How to Apply
Children who will be age two by August 31st of the current school year are eligible to enroll. Sessions are then filled on a first come-first served basis. Enrollment in Time for Twos does not guarantee a place in the preschool the following year.

Time for Twos is currently enrolling for the Fall 2019 session. If you are interested in enrolling your child please contact David Lynch at   admissions@bssknights.org   or 336.570.0019.
