A massive invasion like this is going to call everyone at Beacon over to Vale-proper to help; the teachers, the students, the Atlesian military that's there, all leaving. Beacon will be all but deserted.

There's quite a bit in the intro too. There's that "darkness sphere" that was also in the V1 intro over Beacon, enveloping it. There's all the students dropping into Vale; symbolic, but there's all going to be going there for sure. There's Cinder watching the airships leave, presumibly to Vale. There's RWBY sprinting into Beacon, which cuts directly to the bad guys standing in it (doesn't that seem a little backwards otherwise?).

This goes directly into Yang/Mercury in the auditorium, then Weiss/Emerald inside the school somewhere (Em hasn't used her weapons yet), Blake and Torchwick in Vale, where they are right now (though this could represent their train fight), then Ruby/Cinder out front by the airship landing pads, I believe.

Also, what the heck are Cinder/Emerald/Mercury going to be doing if not something at Beacon while no one's there? Especially when those three are the ones pretending to be students.
