Behavior and Safety at BES-REPEAT
We are more than halfway through this school year, and we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that the staff at Beach Elementary is committed to providing a safe learning environment for all students. As you may recall, we employ four school-wide behavior expectations that everyone on campus adheres to: Respect, Responsibility, Ready & Safe.
Working together, we can ensure our school maintains a positive atmosphere for all to learn and grow. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about our behavior expectations and that there are consequences for students who fail to meet these expectatons.
Also, remember that communication is key to working together effectively. We remind you, “if you see something, say something.” Please report any suspicious activity immediately to authorities. Also, if you notice a change in your child’s behavior or if there have been changes in your family that are impacting your child, please let us know. We are here to support your child’s well-being.
Thank you for your continued partnership.
