Beaumont Students Receive Grant to Start a Garden

Dear Families,

This month, our schoolwide theme is Feelings. We are working on identifying feelings, same and different feelings and showing compassion. In our morning announcements and school assembly, we’ll be reminding students of these skills, which help students be successful learners.

Second Step lessons teach skills for learning. You’ll be receiving Home Links describing why these skills are important and including fun activities to do with your child to practice them. We hope you enjoy them!

Please tell your child’s teacher if you’d like more suggestions about supporting skills for learning at home.

Be on the lookout for your student to arrive home with their school-issued chromebook. It is so important that they charge their device and bring back the next day. Depending on grade level and teacher will determine how often your student will bring the device home. Below are some helpful links to assist you.
