Hello, Little Beaver Families! Yesterday was a great day for our students and staff! We appreciate everyone that came out to make Trunk or Treat a success! We're also appreciative of the opportunity to take our students to the Granada Theater to see "Charlotte's Web!" That was the perfect ending to our school wide book study! Thanksgiving Lunch RSVPs were due today. Friday, 11/3/23, is the very last day that those can be submitted- no other guests can be added once we take the final count on Friday afternoon. If you intend to come for the Thanksgiving Lunch event, please get your reservation and money turned in so that our cooks can make adequate preparations. Thanks so much!
Hello, Little Beaver Families! This message is just a reminder about a few things for tomorrow:
Don't forget costumes tomorrow! No full face coverings (paint or masks), no inappropriate/scary accessories, and all costumes must be in compliance with dress code regulations. Students have to have permission slips in to attend the field trip to the Granada to watch "Charlotte's Web." All participants must also have a minimum of 80% in Conduct to be eligible to attend.
Tomorrow's lunch menu was supposed to be spaghetti, but we swapped out for the cheese pizza meal to cut down on spills messing up costumes!
Our Trunk or Treat begins at 1:00, so we ask that everyone that's part be set up by 12:50. We have 303 students & we ask that you bring enough for each child to receive one of what you're distributing.
Thanks for everything you do to help your child be successful at school!

Hello, Little Beaver Families! Tomorrow's our big day!! We can't wait you see you all in the morning! Morning drop off begins at 7:00 and the tardy bell rings at 7:35. Car riders will be dropped off at the third grade wing entrance between the main parking lot and the building. Those doors will close at 7:30, so anyone arriving after that time will need to come to the main entrance in front of the school. Afternoon dismissal begins at 2:20. Parents will drive down to The Pavilion to turn around and will then drive back up Southview to join the car line. Once buses leave, cars will proceed through the bus loop and in front of the main entrance to pick up their child/ren. There should only be a single line of cars in the bus loop/front of the school. Get a good night's rest and come in wearing your brightest smile in the morning!
