First Week in the Books!

Well, that went fast! It was wonderful to have everyone back in the building again and to hear the excitement in the classrooms and hallways. Don't forget that we do not have school on Monday 9/5 in recognition of Labor Day. I hope that you enjoy the long weekend with your family- soak up the sun!

Carpool went fairly well this week, but we can always make improvements. Please review procedures below and make sure to NEVER let your child out of the car in the far car lane without an adult present to escort them across. Also, please make sure that you move as far up as possible. Finally, stay in your lane. Do not change lanes or cross lanes- this will lead to accidents in the parking lot.

PTO Meeting this Thursday, Septmeber 8th at 6 PM in the library hub! This is a great way to connect with other families as well as help the students, school and staff! Can't wait to see you there!

We welcome Ms. Elise White as our new kindergarten teacher. Mrs. Vickery will team with Ms. White next week to allow for a smooth transition for all of the students. We are excited to have Ms. White join the Beaumont Family!

Chromebooks and 1:1 Information/Support

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.
