Good morning. We are currently in talks with our Admin and road commission on our scheduled Girls game this evening with Harrison. We hope to have a decision made around noon. There will be no youth/middle school and sub varsity practices. please watch for posted updates. Thank you.
BUS CHAT: It's not really possible to overemphasize proper school bus safety and behavior, so BES Principal Shawna Hartwell brought each grade out to a bus this morning for a refresher course. Topics included keeping one's hands to oneself, appropriate language and volume and the correct method to cross in front of the bus. Hartwell also introduced Bus Bucks, a good behavior incentive that can be redeemed with teachers for fun and prizes. #SafetyFirst #GoBeavers

MAKE A DENTAL NOTE: Parents and guardians, don’t forget that the Dental Bus will be making its annual visit to Beaverton Schools Nov. 18-20, providing kids with the opportunity for checkups, cleanings and X-rays as needed. Students in grades K-8 were given consent forms to bring home, and those need to be returned to the school ASAP; if you need a new form, stop by the school office. #DentalHealth
SHOW OF RESPECT: Today's BES salute to our veterans was respectful, heartfelt and excellent. Here are a few photos from the event, but you can watch the whole assembly at https://t.ly/Sg5sM. #ThankYou #GoBeavers

DON'T HESITATE TO MASK: Witches. Ghosts. Skeletons. And so. Many. Spider-Men. Yes, the BES Hallway Halloween Parade delivered the expected dose of cool costumes and extreme makeup. It also delivered a big ol' batch of smiles. Check out the full gallery at https://t.ly/Iadb9. #GhoulBeavers
LACE 'EM UP: Would-be hockey players, don't forget about this weekend's Try Hockey For Free event Saturday from 11 a.m. until noon at the Gladwin Community Arena.

DON'T FORGET: Parent/Teacher conferences are set for Thursday from 12:30 - 4 p.m. and 4:30 - 7 p.m. at both BES and BJSHS. (All visitors to BES should plan to arrive through the north entrance.) Please plan to attend; we're looking forward to seeing you there. #GoBeavers
GREAT EGGSPECTATIONS: Big day for knowledge on campus today. (But aren't they all?) At BJSHS, our friend and PlastiVan Educator Elizabeth Egan returned once again to amaze junior high students with lab experiments that always seem to carry just a touch of magic. Meanwhile at BES, the grand finale of the annual Egg Drop project spelled a day of reckoning for dozens. Fourth-graders pulled together weeks of research, bundled their eggs with as much safe packaging as their imaginations could muster, launched them from the top row of the bleachers and hoped for the best in their quest for a safe landing. Neither event ever fails to entertain and as always, science rules the day. #GoBeavers #Eggceptional
TIME TO MEET: Parents and guardians, don't forget that Parent/Teacher conferences are set for this Thursday from 12:30 - 4 p.m. and 4:30 - 7 p.m. at both BES and BJSHS.

ESSENTIAL TRADITION: At this point, it's an annual thing, but the message is always vital - Beaverton Firefighter Phil Andrist visits BES first-graders in October to discuss fire safety, checking smoke detectors, treating people with respect, and...OH YEAH! Blasting that firehose! (Let's face it, the guy understands his audience.) Thanks to Phil and his partner Case Dunn for delivering essential info in an engaging way to our kids. #GoBeavers
PARA ACES: Hats off to the BES paraprofessionals squad, whose focus on teamwork, unity and positivity has set the bar for students and staff this year. Our valued elementary paras include, l to r, Izabella Torrez, Melissa Harris, Brieanna Doyle, Karen Varner, Kyleigh Minkin, Pam Hannah, Dawn Keller, Donna Couturier, Lanette Gasta, Jessica Atzert, Mary Snyder, Bonnie Airbets, Cheryl Fassett and Jodi Flansburgh. (Photo shy but essential: Caroline Weaver.) Thanks for all you do and #GoBeavers.
REVENGE OF THE PUMPKIN PAINTERS: As you're making your way around our fair town in the weeks to come and you see those brilliantly-decorated pumpkins lining the streets, be advised that BJSHS and BES students are the artists behind at least some of that inspired artwork. They spent the week with paintbrushes in hand, splashing on their best designs to help decorate the city for Halloween. #GhoulBeavers
IN OBVIOUS NEWS, SCIENCE RULES - Our BES STEM students got a visit today from REMC5 Director Joe Trommeter, who brought all sorts of hands-on maker materials that removed any doubts that science absolutely rocks. From clip-on devices that convert cell phones into microscopes to robotic cars that respond differently according to road surface colors, kids had a flat-out blast trying to figure it all out. #GoBeavers
THE STARS HAVE ALIGNED: An outstanding batch of youngsters at BES were recognized this afternoon as Students of the Month for September. These luminaries include Finnigan McCann, Ryan Pierson, Maggie Lang, Ellie Gasche, Charles Meier, Chloe Elizardo, Eleanor Drudge, Xyon Pawlowski and Alexis Yott. Congrats to all and #GoBeavers.
