Every year, thousands of school districts in over 40 states participate in local and state-level competitions to select artwork that depicts school bus safety-related themes and encourages and promotes school bus safety. The winning posters are used to promote safer school transportation for everyone. State winners advance to the national poster contest. Submissions for the contest must be received by the Office of Pupil Transportation/ Emergency Management by March 15, 2023.

For questions, please contact Gabriel Rose, Director of Pupil Transportation and Emergency Management by telephone at 410-767-0209 or by email at gabriel.rose1@maryland.gov.

Please help us to make sure all of our students are receiving the best education possible by ensuring that your children arrive on time each day, and stay through the end of the school day. Our school day hours are 8:45 to 3:30. We realize and understand there are scheduling issues that arise at times. However, chronically late arrivals and early dismissals affect the students with loss of instruction. It also disrupts the class. We sincerely appreciate your effort to get your children to school on time, with all the supplies they need for the day..

The last day of school for BEACH ELEMENTARY is MONDAY, JUNE 12th. This is to allow extra time to pack up for this summer's move to the new building! PLEASE NOTE this is the last day for BEACH ELEMENTARY, ONLY!!!!!

“What does your school safety community look like?”

We want students, grades 3-12, to show us what school safety means to them by submitting an art piece based on this year’s theme, as listed above. The art pieces will be judged anonymously during our Summer Conference on July 19th and July 20th, 2023.

All entries must be original student pieces of work not containing logos, copyrighted imagery, or information. Failure to comply with our rules and guidelines will result in your entry being disqualified.

Submission deadline is May 31st, 2023. Please see our website for contest submission requirements, registration form, frequently asked questions and flyers you can download to print and post in your schools and community.

Please see this link for details.

There is still plenty of time to register for the Read-A-Thon fundraiser! Students can register to earn a prize and log reading minutes up until Thursday March 16th. Students can use a portion of all donations they receive in the prize store as well. And don’t forget, the class that logs the most reading minutes will earn a pizza party. Participating students are already logging an impressive amount of reading, keep up the good work!!

We will have another student dance on Friday March 17th. Students registered will stay after school to join classmates for some St. Patrick’s Day dancing and fun. Snacks and drinks will be available to purchase for $1 each. Register online by March 16th at 10pm. A copy of the flyer with the QR code is attached here.

Due to limited space, only students can attend in-door dances. But Parents that would like to volunteer to chaperone the dance can use the sign up link below and will need to be a registered volunteer through the raptor system.

We will be having our outdoor family dance evening in May where everyone can join in on the fun.

The chaperone sign up link is below for all who are interested.
