BEEP Parents
It’s great to have your children here this week as it completes our school. Some of the kids are nervous, some excited, some shy, some scared, but know that this is all a normal part of the transition process.
Morning Drop-Off
In an effort to make our morning drop off run as smoothly as possible we are asking parents to please stay in the car during this time. If your child needs assistance we have teachers on duty who can help. We want to make this process be as efficient and safe as possible. Thank you!
Protect the Learning
Each School Day is Important:
As we enter a new school year, I would like to remind folks to make every effort to maximize instructional time for students and teachers. Simply put, all stakeholders should work to protect the the learning for days when school is in session. Everyone has a role to play:
Students can arrive at school on time each day and be prepared to put forth their best effort.
Parents can closely monitor student attendance and avoid scheduling vacations and appointments during the school day.
Teachers can strive to provide high-quality lesson plans and assessments to ensure that students are actively engaged every single day.
Principals and assistant principals can work proactively to eliminate interruptions and distractions during the school day.
Support staff can make sure that facilities are well-maintained and equipment is functioning properly.
Central office administrators can avoid pulling teachers from classrooms for workshops and meetings unless absolutely necessary.
Research shows that access to high-quality instruction is the best tool for improving student achievement; therefore, I encourage everyone to Protect the Learning.
