All Star Parents:



I cannot believe that November is here!  Staff have finished administering the baseline assessments and are deep within the curriculum.  I am very happy with some of the early achievement scores that have been recorded from our NWEA assessments!  I look forward to watching all of our All Stars achieve at very high levels this school year!

November also brings to us our conference nights.  This is a great opportunity to hear how your child has progressed to this point of the school year.  We are holding conferences on Thursday, November 8th from 5:00pm until 8:00pm and Thursday, November 15th from 1:00pm until 4:00pm and 5:00pm until 8:00pm.  If you are unsure of your conference times, please contact your child's teacher, or our office staff to assist you.

Report cards will again be emailed to you this school year.  The first quarter report cards will be emailed out on Friday, November 16th.  There is no "solid" time for them to come out, but I am guessing that it will be later in the afternoon.  In order for you to receive the report cards electronically, you must have a secure PowerSchool account.  If you do not have an active account, please contact our office so that we can get you set up!

I hope that everyone has an enjoyable November!  Please take time during the Thanksgiving season to be with friends and family!

Lego Robotics:
We are still looking to see if anyone is interested in starting a Lego Robotics Program here at Beacon Tree.  I have placed a link below with information to help get a program started.  If you have questions about the program, please feel free to contact me so that I can answer any questions you may have.
