Happy New Year - Second Semester 2022
As we begin this second semester of our school year, we are all looking forward to continuing to work on helping our students accelerate their learning, while balancing their social-emotional needs, too. Students will be taking the mid-year NWEA tests in reading and math (Jan. 18-30) to monitor their academic achievement. Winter Parent Teacher conferences will be coming up soon - watch for more information on that event! A great time to connect with your child's teacher to ensure everything is in place to help your child be successful at school.
Results from the second marking period should have already been sent. Parents with established secure parent portals will have been electronically sent their child's 2nd marking report card directly to the email account on file.
I hope everyone enjoys a healthy and happy new year! Welcome 2022!

Kaiser Studios - Back for another round of Photographs! January 11
If you do not like your original photographs, previously taken, please send the package back to school with your child, and they will be re-done.
If your child has not had their photo taken yet, it is not too late to order them. Simply go to their website, www.kaiserstudio.com. Where it says, "Order Code", type in BECK21. You will then be prompted to put in your child's name and information.
Our yearbook is being assembled and more information about it and how to purchase one will be available later this winter. We typically offer those for sale in advance and they are delivered in early June, 2022.
Parking Lot Update - No Left Turns
The time school releases unfortunately, coincides with the end of shift of an industrial facility just south of Beck. Traffic heading north on Hayes is very heavy at exactly 3:30 p.m.
Also, we have noticed may folks attempting to enter our parking lot by driving into the exiting lanes of traffic. This is also a very dangerous practice! There will be a head-on collision if someone is exiting the lot as a car tries to travel in the wrong lane into the lot. Please do not do this. We can move cars quickly and efficiently if everyone follows the same rules.
I have been out on the street helping to get cars moving out of the lot as safely and as quickly as possibile. Please allow time to safely enter our lot, pick up your child, and make your way to the exit. Enjoy the time in the car together hearing about their day! I promise everyone will get to where they need to be if we could all just be patient and follow the established procedures!

Dress for the Michigan Winter
Please make sure your child comes to school with boots, a warm coat, hat, and mittens or gloves every day. Boots are important because very often our playpad is not cleared of snow. Students who aren't prepared for winter weather will stay indoors and enjoy a good book
