Many of our students are participating in the Kids Read Now summer reading program. Reading for just 15 minutes per day can make you happier, smarter, and more imaginative! Take the #KRNPledge to read at least 15 minutes every day this summer! Share pictures and videos of your child reading using the hashtag #KRNPledge!

BRINGIN' THE NOISE: If today's pep assembly was any indication, plan on a raucous good time at tonight's varsity football game against Shepherd. We cut the ribbon at 6:40 p.m. and the game follows right after. #WeLoveItLoud #GoBeavers

BEAVERTON SCHOOLS PRESENTS...WHERE IT BEGINS: Our new preschool program tackles a huge community need while giving tomorrow's students an excellent introduction to school. See it here: https://youtu.be/D_zR9dV2GtA #SmallButMighty #GoBeavers

Popcorn Friday is almost here! September 16th will be our first day for students to purchase popcorn. Popcorn prices are as follows: 50 cents per bag for kindergarten and 75 cents per bag for first grade through sixth. Please share any additional questions with your classroom teacher.

THE TIME HAS COME: Please join us this Friday, Sept. 16 at 6:40 p.m. as we officially welcome student-athletes and the community to enjoy the exciting upgrades of our athletic complex at C.W. Metzger Field. The Beavers' varsity football game versus Shepherd will follow the brief ceremony.

TAKING A CLOSER LOOK: Mrs. Wohlschlegel's fourth-graders got an eyeful (and a brainful) of little life made big today, putting all kinds of different stuff under the microscope and getting a good look.

Because we remain committed to taking every necessary precaution to ensure the safety of our student-athletes and spectators, this week's JV Football game against the Pioneers will be played in Clare Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. The varsity football game will be played as scheduled Friday at 7 p.m. at Clare. Nobody is more anxious and excited to see our teams competing on our home stomping grounds at C.W. Metzger Field than us, so please understand we share your frustration. We appreciate your continued patience, Beaver Nation, and we hope to have some good news to share later this week. Thank you, and #GoBeavers.

YOUR ROOM IS READY: One of the exciting new features of the Beaverton Schools app is Rooms, which offers parents and guardians the opportunity to chat directly with teachers, along with class streams, class announcements and other communications. Within the past couple of days, you should have received an email asking you to create an account so that you can access Rooms on the app or on the web. The email sender is 'EduRooms' and if you didn't receive it, check your spam folder. If you can't find the email anywhere, please call the school office to get assistance at 989.246.3020 (BES) or 989.246.3010 (BJSHS). We also have a short video with instructions for using Rooms at https://bit.ly/3B8ZqsM. And if you haven't yet started using the Beaverton Schools app, now's a great time.

Monday was the first day of school for everybody in Beaverton. But for English teacher Allison Grice, it was even bigger than that: It was the first day of her career. The story: https://bit.ly/3pKMWAR #GoBeavers

Good morning Beaverton Families. As clarification - our students at Beaverton Elementary will continue receiving free breakfast and lunch on a daily basis. The media communication regarding the ending of free school lunches was referring to the federal program that was initiated by Congress as a pandemic response. This will not have any effect on the meals being provided to our students. Students will have menus coming soon to them. However, with the daily food shortage supply chains the menu may have less variety and changes to the menu.

LET'S GO! The first day of school arrives tomorrow, and we're excited to launch an amazing year. Don't forget the first day is a half-day. Students at BES will release at 11:35 a.m., followed by BJSHS at 11:45 a.m. #GoBeavers

Our open house for all students is this Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at both buildings. The 7th & 8th grade students will have a brief orientation in the gym starting at 4:30 pm. For more information, please contact us at 989.246.3010 (BJSHS) or 989.246.3020 (BES).

Welcome Back! We are excited to begin the 22-23 school year. As a reminder, school supply lists can be found on our Beaverton Elementary School facebook page. Additionally, our BES Open House will be held on Wednesday, August 17th from 4:30-6:30. Class lists will be available at that time. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!!

GOING UP! There was plenty of progress at Beaverton's Metzger Field today with the continued installation of the home team bleachers; the press box will follow.
