K-Beach Elementary School
A Message From Mrs. Van Slyke
I hope that you and your family have enjoyed the summer. I am excited to start a new school year here at K-Beach! I look forward to welcoming our students back to the building and starting our new school year on Tuesday, August 16th. Our school staff is here to support students and work with families. We care about our Caribou!
This year K-Beach Elementary will continue our focus on literacy and our new math program. Social emotional development will continue to be a priority. Our school staff highlights the positives of our students' learning growth and celebrates student successes.
I am excited for another successful school year, and I am honored to partner with you in your child’s education! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
K-Beach New Student and Kindergarten Registration
Kindergarten
The AM group runs 7:55 - 10:30 and the PM group runs 11:50 - 2:25.
We will not be assigning teachers until after the first week of half-day instruction. This will allow our teachers the chance to get to know your child and his/her strengths. We can then match your child with a teacher who will best meet his/her needs.
