Ms. Stuart's 4th grade class did a Book Tasting on Friday. They were able to sample books by looking at the covers, reading a few pages and discussing them with their classmates. They are hungry to read! Our wonderful Instructional Coach, Mrs. Denton even joined in to taste some books. #boykinsarereaders
Thank you to our FBE PTO for a wonderful breakfast treat this morning. The teachers and staff were thrilled.
The South Carolina Department of Education purchased and provided Berkeley County School District and other school districts in our state with My Ride K-12 for communication of bus routes and delays. The app has been unable to provide parents with consistent delay information. BCSD is now tracking bus delays for parents using Google documents.

Hello,
Thank you to all of our Boykin parents for being patient in the morning and afternoon car rider loop. This is always very long in the beginning of the school year, but once everyone learns the procedures, it will move at a faster pace. Please read below as we have made some minor changes to the morning car rider line.
Starting tomorrow, Weds 8/23:
To ensure the safety of all students we will have them exit their car along the front sidewalk of the school. (Not past the curve at the corner of the school).
We will have a staff member with a stop sign to show where we stop letting students out of cars.
Please refer to the attached map for more details.
Thank you all for your patience as we try to make arrival and dismissal safe and efficient.
We are having a great first day at FBE.
Here are some dismissal reminders:
CAR RIDERS
- Car rider loop (2nd entrance by the fire station)
-Have your number hanging from rearview mirror
-Please do not pass the person collecting numbers until you get a thumbs up
-Stay in the lane you entered in
-Put your car in park when students are loading
If you do not have a car rider number, park behind the fire station and walk to the front office with your picture ID to get a new one. (Extra car rider tags are $3.00)
Please do not park in the front parking lot in front of the school after 12:30. You will be blocked in by our car rider parents.
WALKERS/BIKE RIDERS
If your child is a walker or bike rider, please wait for them by the light pole before the bike rack if you are picking them up on campus.
Thank you for a wonderful first day of school
Tomorrow, Monday 8/21/23 is the first day of school. We are all very excited and cannot wait to see our little Boykins in the morning. Here are some friendly reminders:
-You can walk your child to the classroom door on the first day of school only.
-Parking is very hard at FBE. We encourage walking/biking if possible, golf carts, or carpooling.
-No parking in the bus loop area when buses are present.
-If It is a handicap or reserved space, please do not park there unless you have the proper tags.
-Please do not park on or drive over any grass or flowerbeds on or off campus. We all need to be respectful of the parking areas on or around the school.
-It is going to be an exciting day but please be patient.
-Lines are going to be long for morning sign in, but you will be able to walk your child to class.
-Our front office will not be officially open till 7:45 since they will be helping getting parents signed in and students in the building.
We ask everyone to be patient and understanding. We want our FBE Boykins to have great memories of their first day.
*Please do not park on Alderly Drive per the Moncks Corner Police Department*
See you bright and early in the morning @ 6:55 AM.
The front office will be open today until 2:50. If you need to know who your child's teacher is, you will need to come to the front office with your picture ID. We are unable to give this information out over the phone. Thank you
We are so excited to see every one at our FBE Back to School Bash. Come and meet your teacher, bring your supplies, purchase FBE shirts, get your face painted and much, much more!
Since parking is very limited, please walk to FBE is possible. You can also drive your golf cart, carpool or park at Freedom Church and catch the shuttle bus.
We are going to have a great school year!
