A word from your Proud Principal Mrs. Garcia:
As we approach the much-awaited winter break, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible journey our students have had this semester. It's been a time of growth, learning, and memorable experiences, and I am thrilled to share some highlights with you.
Academically, your children have shown remarkable dedication and perseverance. From mastering challenging concepts to embracing new subjects, their curiosity has been truly inspiring. I've witnessed countless "aha" moments and watched as they've expanded their knowledge in exciting ways.
Beyond the classroom, our students have been actively engaged in various extracurricular activities. Whether it's arts or community service, they've demonstrated passion and commitment, building valuable skills and forming lasting friendships along the way.
As we look forward to the winter break, I encourage you to celebrate your child's achievements, both big and small. It's a well-deserved time to relax, recharge, and create wonderful memories together. Thank you for your ongoing support and partnership in nurturing these bright minds. Wishing you all a joyful and restful winter break!

Winter Parties!
Thursday, Dec 14. 2:00-2:45pm
It is time to celebrate a semester of learning with our students and staff! We will be hosting Winter Parties on Thursday, December 14 from 2:00- 2:45pm. All parties will be at the same time. If you have multiple children, feel free to attend the different parties within that time. We want to invite parents to participate in these parties. This is the first year we are having parents be a part of winter parties and we want it to be an enjoyable time for everyone.
If you would like to attend:
We ask that only 2 guests per student attend. Space in the classroom is VERY VERY limited. Please no more than 2 guests per student.
All guests will check in at the cafeteria and will wait in the cafeteria until classroom doors open at 2:00PM.
All guests need to exit the building and be off campus at 2:45pm in order to prepare for dismissal. All guests will be asked to leave using the nearest exit.
The playground is not open at 2:45pm for public use. Please do not stay to play. We need the Playground area to be cleared for dismissal.
Please be mindful that there are 560 students at Beaver. In order to accommodate an event that is enjoyable and safe for all, it requires that we work together. Our space on campus is very limited and we still have to have a safe dismissal after the parties.
Please know that exceptions will not be made.
Adventure Dash!
The Adventure Dash fundraiser was a huge success! Thank you parents for your support and donations. The students had the best time participating in the race!!

Parenting Tips:
This year our students have a whopping THREE WEEKS off from school for the holidays! Here's how you can keep the learning going over the break!
Incorporate practice time on Ready Hub apps like ST Math and iReady!
Have your student keep a journal and write about what they did each day of the break.
Reading, reading, reading!! Visit a local library and check out books with your student. Have them read 20 minutes before any gaming or device time!
Visit museums like the Perot museum or the Dallas Museum of Art.
Complete a research project on a favorite subject of theirs! This could be a favorite animal, invention, or place they want to visit.
