Dear Parents and Families,
We know that every family faces different challenges at different times, and sometimes knowing where to turn for help can make all the difference. At Beaverton Schools, we care about the well-being of our students and families, both inside and outside the classroom. We want to help make sure our families are aware of the many wonderful resources and support services available within our community.
Each month, we will highlight a resource or support service available to families through 211, helping you discover the different ways this valuable community resource can provide assistance when you need it most.
This Month's Resource Spotlight: Michigan 211
Did you know that 211 is a free, confidential service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week? Think of 211 as a central hub that helps connect individuals and families with a wide variety of local programs, organizations, and support services.
Whether you're looking for a little extra help or navigating a more challenging time, 211 can help connect you with resources for:
- Food and basic necessities
- Housing and utility assistance
- Transportation
- Health care and mental health support
- Financial assistance
- Holiday meals, gifts, and seasonal support
- And so much more!
With the holiday season approaching, many holiday assistance programs are now available. We encourage families who may benefit from these services to explore their options and reach out early, as some programs have limited availability or application deadlines.
Connecting with 211 is easy!
- Call: Dial 2-1-1
- Text: Send your ZIP code to 898211 (TXT211)

Please know that reaching out for support is always okay. Whether your family needs assistance today or you simply want to learn what resources are available for the future, 211 is a wonderful place to start.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Beaverton High School Cancels Home Varsity Football Game Against Harrison Due to Injuries; JV to Play Away
BEAVERTON, MI — September 14, 2026 — Beaverton High School athletic officials announced today the cancellation of the upcoming home varsity football game against Harrison High School, originally scheduled to be played at Beaverton on Friday, September 18.
The decision was made due to a depleted varsity roster caused by a high number of student-athlete injuries. School administrators and the coaching staff determined that the varsity team cannot safely field the minimum number of healthy players required for a matchup this weekend.
The primary goal of the cancellation is to give sidelined varsity players the proper window to rest and recover so that Beaverton can safely and competitively complete the remainder of the 2026 season.
The junior varsity (JV) game against Harrison will still be played as originally scheduled on Thursday, September 17. Kickoff is set for 6:00 PM away at Harrison High School, and the athletic department encourages fans to travel and support the JV squad.
"The safety, health, and long-term well-being of our student-athletes will always be our absolute top priority," said the Beaverton Athletic Department. "While we are incredibly disappointed for our varsity players, coaches, and fans, this difficult step is necessary to allow our team time to heal. We are grateful that our JV student-athletes still have the opportunity to compete this week, and we extend our sincere appreciation to Harrison High School, the Jack Pine Conference, and the Beaverton community for their understanding and continued support."
Information regarding ticket refunds or vouchers for the canceled home varsity game will be released by the athletic department later this week.
