Visitor Check-In

Welcome to The International School at Mary Mae Jones!

Bentonville Schools recognize that a child’s education is a responsibility shared by the school and family during the entire time a child spends in school. Parents/guardians are always welcome and are encouraged to visit our school any time they might have questions or would like to view the operation of the school system.

Visitor Check-In Procedures:

We welcome families and guests at school. When arriving on school grounds, visitors must check in through the school office. To enter the school building, please ring the doorbell to the right of the main entrance to notify office personnel of your presence. An office staff member will be happy to answer your questions and assist you with your needs. Visitors are asked to present their valid state identification, which is scanned, and to wear the visitor badge given to them at check in.

We welcome parents, guardians, and grandparents to join their child/grandchild for lunch for special occasions. We have cafeteria seating reserved so you may enjoy lunch with your child/grandchild. If you are visiting for lunch, you may bring food for your child, but you are not permitted to share this food with other students due to food allergies and other precautionary measures. Thank you for your support and understanding with this.

Late Check-in:

Students who arrive at school after the tardy bell has rung will need to be checked in through the front office and must be accompanied by a parent.

Check-Out Procedures:

Please ring the doorbell located to the right of the main entrance. Someone from our office staff will assist you. Please have a State-issued photo identification available to be scanned. This ensures the safety of our students.

Parents are encouraged to schedule a student’s doctor and dental appointments outside school hours. If this is not possible, parents must come to the main office to check out a child. Parents picking up their child during the school day are required to come into the front office to sign the student out and must show their valid state identification. Changes in transportation home or early pick-up from school may not occur after 2:00 unless it is an unavoidable emergency.
