Kindergarten Registration is Now Open!
This year’s registration process for incoming kindergarten students will soon be available on our website. All forms and directions can also be found on the MCPS Website (click here). Parents are encouraged to register their online through the ParentVue Portal starting March 18. If needed, you are welcome to schedule an appointment for assistance by calling the main office. Our registrar, Ms. Astrid Paz, would be happy to assist you.
Parents of children who will turn 5-years old by September 1, 2024, can download and complete all registration forms from the Beall website. Forms can then be turned in to the main office beginning the week of April 2 or submitted electronically (beginning March 18). No appointment is necessary to submit paperwork. Our website will identify specific office hours. Unlike previous years, there will not be a designated Orientation Day for incoming students. We will provide an information session for parents and are seeking to plan activities that will help incoming students meet other students or visit a classroom. Additional information will be provided at a later date. Children who turn 5 years old before September 1, 2024, should be enrolled in the upcoming kindergarten class. If you need assistance, or would prefer to pick-up a registration packet, please contact the main office (240-740-1220). You may use MCPS's School Locator Assignment Tool to confirm that you live in the Beall school district.

THANK YOU

Join the PTA!
Please join the PTA for the 2023-2024 school year! Your support is critical for the PTA programs and events that we all love. The 2023-2024 membership form is now open - please join today! A note about this year's dues: In an effort to ensure that cost is not a barrier to any Beall family joining the PTA, we have lowered our PTA dues substantially. We are therefore kindly requesting that you consider making a donation to the PTA when you purchase your membership, to support our programming. A donation in the amount of $20 (individual) or $35 (family) would bring your total contribution in line with last year's dues, but any amount is appreciated. We thank you for your support.
