Campus History, Vision, Mission and Motto
History
Roy H. Guess Elementary is located in the northern section of Beaumont, Texas. The school was first established as Voth-Rosedale School in 1938. The school retained this name after joining the Beaumont Independent School District in 1949. In 1959, the school’s name was changed in honor of Mr. Roy H. Guess, longtime principal and superintendent of the school. The old building was demolished in the summer of 1986. The new Roy Guess was dedicated in October 1986. The present school houses approximately 650 students in grades Kindergarten - 5th. The Guess PTA strives for 100% membership. The staff of eighty employees works hard to meet the school district’s goals concerning the education of the students and strives for continual improvement in the educational standards as set by the district and the state. The principal and staff strive to meet the academic, as well as the social needs of each student.

Drop-Off and Pick-Up Procedures
Morning Drop Off Procedure:
Student drop off, 7:30 a.m. -8:03 a.m., is in the back near the cafeteria and is not allowed to be dropped off in the front. Please be aware that students should be in their rooms at 8:05 a.m., ready to begin the day. Please form a single line only and drop off students next to the curb. It is unsafe for students to move across lanes in front of cars. Students will wait in the cafeteria. They may choose to eat breakfast or read quietly. At 7:45, students will be released to their classrooms for early morning enrichment or intervention. Therefore, we will stop drop-off in the back at 8:03 a.m., which will give students about 2 minutes to get to class. If your child arrives at school later than 8:03, please park and walk your child into the office, and wait until your child receives a tardy pass.
Afternoon Dismissal Procedure:
Buses and day care providers will load students in the back driveway near the cafeteria. Students riding the bus or daycare van will wait in the cafeteria. Teachers will be supervising students as they wait.
All other students will be car riders only and will load from the front lane. The front lane is longer than the back pick-up lane, and we are able to triple the number of cars picking up at once. Cars will enter the front lane from Voth Road and will only be allowed to turn right. Allowing cars to turn either way from Voth into the pickup lane causes congestion. Car riders will wait in their rooms until their name is called. Kindergarten and first-grade students will wait in a room closer to the front of the building so they will not have so far to travel once their name is called. We will give you a Parent Pick Up Tag to hang from your visor. Please write your child’s name in large print on the tag and display it in the front window. As another safety measure, your child will only be released to the car with a Parent Pick Up Tag. A team member will be calling names as you drive through the front lane. Your child will walk to the front porch and wait until you pull up. Your child will then be able to move to your car and load in a safe manner. We will have ample supervision on the front porch as well as in the building. While I realize that we have double lanes in the front, for the safety of your child, we only utilize the lane closest to the curb. It is not safe for your child to cross in front of other cars, even with an escort. Also, you may use the outside lane for leaving once you have picked up your child. With patience and cooperation, this procedure works quite well. We will begin calling for cars at 3:25. Once we get the system moving smoothly, you should have to wait no longer than 15-20 minutes in the car line. I understand that the car pickup line can be very long. However, it flows smoothly with everyone working together.
While we ask that all appointments be made as late as possible, we understand that, on occasion, you may need to pick up your child early. If it is necessary for you to pick up your child early from school, the latest time that you may pick up your child is 3:00 p.m. After 3:00 p.m., please move to the car pick-up line and follow the dismissal procedure. The reason we have a 3:00 p.m. cut-off is due to teachers wrapping up the day's lessons, handing out information that needs to go home, and students finalizing their homework and assignment needs.
Again, for the safety of all students, students will be allowed to leave school by bus, daycare van, or car pick up. Parents walking onto campus to pick up students after 3:00 will not be allowed. Also, students will only be released to autos where the Parent Pick Up Tag is displayed.
All student walkers will need to have a signed form on file in the office listing their home address. You may pick up the form at the front office.
