A Message from the Principal
Hello Beech Families,
We are in need of your support. Many children are experiencing struggles at recess and lunch. We believe that this is due to their social and emotional development being delayed due to the changes in school during the pandemic. Behaviors that students are exhibiting are typically 2-3 years below their actual age. We are working at the school level to share resources for social emotional learning and are asking that you support us by talking to the teachers during conferences regarding your specific child's behaviors. Together I know that we will be able to help students grow academically and socially!
Ms. Nickel
Parent Teacher Conferences are This Week
The teachers are working harder than ever this year. The changes that have occurred due to the pandemic have affected teachers, leaders, students, and parents in more than just academic ways. We continue to strive to be the most effective support system for your family and look forward to hearing how we can continue to do so during conferences.
I would also like to encourage each of you to thank your child's teacher for their hard work. Often what they do goes unappreciated and it means a lot when they are recognized.

They hope that the students are happy, healthy, and learn to become the best version of themselves this year. They love to see the children's smiling faces, but would like to ask you to help ensure that they have their masks on and in place each day!
The ladies love to take care of "boo-boo's" and make sure that parents know of illnesses and/or injuries that may occur throughout the school day.
Ms. Dunn and Ms. Stauch would like to encourage parents to read the Principal's Weekly Newsletter and sign up for class dojo. It is the best way to communicate with your child's teacher!
