K-Beach Elementary School
A Message from Mrs. Van Slyke
I hope that you and your family have enjoyed the summer. I am excited to start a new school year here at K-Beach! I look forward to welcoming our students back to the building and starting our new school year on Tuesday, August 15th. Our school staff is here to support students and work with families. We care about our Caribou!
This year K-Beach Elementary will continue our focus on literacy and math. Our school staff looks forward to working with you to support and celebrate your child's success.
I am excited for another successful school year, and I am honored to partner with you in your child’s education! Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.
New Student and Kindergarten Registration
Can't make it in during those hours? Register your child online: https://kpbsd.org/students-parents/student-registration/
In order to register in the KPBSD, new students are required to have the following when they register
- Physical Examination (These forms are in most of the local doctor’s offices.)
- Original birth certificate. A birth certificate is required for verification.
- Meet immunization requirements.
Bring your school supplies, tour the building, and meet your child's teacher!
Please take time to stop by the table in the lobby to set up an end-of-day plan or bus pass for your child.
School Supply Lists
Class Placement
In the past, we have had AM and PM groups for kindergarteners during the first week of school. However, this year kindergarteners will be attending full day starting on the first day of school.
Student Drop Off/Pick Up
Our academic school day starts at 7:55AM. School doors open at 7:30AM, which is when the first group of students will be permitted in the building. There will be recess outside in the morning until 7:50AM. Parents who plan to drop off child(ren) at school, please use the drop off lanes in the front of the school and our staff will direct students into the building.
K-Beach has a staggered schedule for dismissal of busses, walkers, and pick-ups. Parents, please remain in you car during pick up time.
