Hello, Little Beaver Families! We hope you are all doing well and staying warm! For tomorrow, Tuesday, 1/21/25, our students will use the paper packets that were previously sent home for their remote learning day. Teachers will post the materials on Dojo/Schoology in case work packets have been misplaced. School staff will be available from 9:30-2:30 should you or your child have any questions. Students can always benefit from practice with math fact fluency, multiplication/division practice, and solving word problems. Reading, particularly articles about nonfictional topics, is always a great way to keep skills sharp! Please note that music auditions that were originally scheduled for tomorrow after school have been postponed. Have a great evening!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! We are so excited to see our students bright and early in the morning! Since we've been out of our routines for a few weeks, we wanted to send out a reminder about our school schedule:
-Earliest drop off is 7am. Please do not let your child out before this time as there will not be staff on duty prior to 7:00am.
-Our tardy bell rings at 7:35am. Students need to be in the classroom before this time in order to not be counted tardy. Please account for the delay caused by the traffic light at the four way stop just out from the school.
-Dismissal begins at 2:20pm and ends at 2:45pm.
-Please keep in mind that the buses have the right of way anytime the path of car traffic and buses intersect.
-Tutoring will resume for those students that had been participating prior to break starting tomorrow, Monday, January 13th.
Tuck those Little Beavers in early tonight so they're ready for a fresh start in the morning! See you soon, folks!

Hello, Little Beaver Families! Interim Reports were sent home with students today. The format looks very similar to the actual Report Cards, but these reports are just meant to show students' progress at the grading period midpoint. Because this is the first time using this format for Interims, there are some glitches with the printouts. Some students only have core subjects showing, some had grades reflected in the wrong grading scale, and some had grades that show decimals instead of whole numbers. You can always check your child's performance by logging in to Schoology. If you have specific questions about the reports you received today or how your child is doing in any content area, please reach out to your child's teacher on Monday. Have a wonderful weekend!
