Students will be released through the office only to a parent, guardian, or other authorized person listed on your emergency card. Please be prepared to share picture identification.  The principal must approve exceptions to this policy. All doors to the building will be locked. This, and other specific school security and safety procedures, are addressed in both the Frederick County handbook and in the Brunswick Local Crisis Plan. 

Please know that even though certain procedures may seem time consuming, they are in place for the sole purpose of establishing a safe environment for your child. Families will learn about Brunswick Emergency Procedures via the Railroader Newsletter and Open House. Our Brunswick School Emergency Management Team is  trained to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from all emergency situations in or near our schools. For more information regarding FCPS Safety & Emergency Management, please refer to our FCPS Website. 

Safety of our students and staff is our number one priority. A comprehensive emergency management plan has been developed and reviewed by staff.  Several types of safety drills are conducted throughout the year. Two bus evacuation drills are also held each year, one in the fall and one in the spring.

Parents and guardians are welcome to schedule a visit to the school and join their child for lunch. Visits should be arranged in advance with BES administration. Please contact Laura.Davidson@fcps.org to schedule a visit.

Upon entering any school or FCPS building, visitors will be required to present an ID, which will be entered into our visitor-management system. If someone does not have a US government-issued ID, the person can show another form of identification. The system checks the visitor's name and date of birth for comparison with a national database of registered sex offenders, who are not permitted on school property. No other data from the ID is gathered or recorded. Once entry is approved, the system will issue a visitor badge. A visitor's badge will not be necessary for those who visit simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork.
