Establishing Roots at Beal School
A message from Principal Girardi & Assistant Principal Hoey
Picture of the week- Beal 'Make Your Mark' artwork has been installed in the lower lobby
August 17, 2021
Today you will receive information from the district about how to access your child's teacher in your PowerSchool Parent Portal. We are excited to begin building our classroom communities and ask that you complete your child's emergency contact information, make corrections if there are any, and acknowledge receipt of the student handbook. This will be very helpful in ensuring a safe and positive start to the school year.
Please call Beal School at (508) 841-8860 if you do not have a teacher placement or email powerschoolaccounts@shrewsbury.k12.ma.us if you are having difficult accessing your Parent Portal account.
This has been an exciting week as the majority of the work on the building is complete and teachers can begin accessing the building and setting up their classrooms. We have been given clearance to begin tours for families as well and there is information below on when you are invited to come in. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!
