The Seahawk Scoop
February 22, 2021
Dear Beach Middle Families,
As I told my staff at our faculty meeting this morning, this re-opening has a different "feel". I am optimistic that with the vaccine and decreasing numbers this will be a permanent return for students who choose to do so. We do have students on a waiting list for in-person learning. We are moving kids off the wait list as soon as seats open. I appreciate everyone's patience as we navigate this.
If you haven't yet done so, please ensure that you sign up for Morning announcements in MySchoolMail. In addition to the announcements being shown in SEL and posted in Schoology each morning, they are sent via My School Mail each Friday. This is a great way to keep up with various events and school news.
Believe it or not, the first grading period for Term Two will be closing on March 5th. Do not hesitate to reach out to teachers or your child's counselor if you would like to schedule a conference to discuss any concerns.
School pictures are currently being taken. The schedule can be viewed below. We have made one change- due to the low number of appointments on March 8 for Grades 7/8 virtual students, we have shortened the window to 5:00 PM-6:30 PM.
Thank you for your continued support of Beach Middle. Have a Super Week!
