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

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.

DID YOU KNOW??? “Across the socioeconomic spectrum, kids arrive back at school every fall much worse off in mathematics than they finished in the spring. On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of learning in math over the summer.” -from an article called Summer Math Loss published on the Harvard Graduate School of Education website Just a few extra minutes this summer can make a HUGE difference.

Attention parents of incoming K-6 Beaverton Elementary students:
There will be a rewards assembly in the fall for students who show us some proof of reading over the summer. Students can fill out the reading bookmark that was sent home, report books read in the KRN portal, or simply keep track of books or time read on a piece of paper. The important thing is to keep those reading skills sharp! Reading during summer break makes a HUGE difference for students in the fall. It's not too late!
Just a friendly reminder - Summer time is a great time to make appointments for sports physicals and immunizations. The State of Michigan does have several school required immunizations. If you have a child in Kindergarten, 7th grade, or are new to our district your student's immunization status will be assessed and will need to be updated prior to the beginning of the school year. Additionally, all potential athletes will need to have a current health physical on file with the school. Enjoy your summer!!
Books are on the way!
Many of our students are participating in the Kids Read Now summer reading program. Beaverton Elementary's first @KidsReadNow books have shipped and are on the way to our students! If you've reported a book for your child, make sure you're checking the mail for your next book!
Many of our students are participating in the Kids Read Now summer reading program. Every @KidsReadNow book includes a Discovery Sheet on the inside of the front cover. These questions help children to relate the book to themselves, to other books, and to the world! Are you discussing these questions with your child? What are your favorite questions (and answers) so far?
Girls Basketball Camp for 4th-8th Graders begins today through Thursday from 9 to noon at the high school gym. We hope to see your daughter there! GO RED!
