A Message From Mr. Ellis:
Dear All Star Parents/Guardians:
March is here, and that can only mean one thing...
It's MARCH IS READING MONTH time!!!
March always is a fun month because we are able to read a book together as a school and have a little bit of fun with it as well! Throughout the month, students will be reading "The Chocolate Touch" by Patrick Skene Catling. To accompany this, Mrs. DiBrango has created a digital playground of all things chocolate for students to interact with to support the book!
Things are looking pretty "sweet" in our main hallway as well! Now that we are able to have volunteers back in the building, our main hallway has been transformed to a "sweet" experience! A HUGE thank you needs to go out to the following parents for all of their hard work...
Courtney King, Amanda Smith, Erin Makl, Kristen Pytel, Erica Eovaldi, Andrea Galovski, Katie Bischoff, Ketty Kildani, and Alison Lisseman
These phenomenal parents worked tirelessly to create a magical experience for all of our All Stars to enjoy. Last week they were able to transform our main hallway into a world of chocolate and candy!
Thank you again for creating a wonderful environment for our All Stars to enjoy the month of March!!! I appreciate all of your hard work!

CONTINUED COVID-19 SUPPORT:
I would like to thank families who continue to make sure that children that are not feeling well stay home. We all know that COVID-19 has affected families this year. This could be positive cases or quarantined cases. Either one is a challenge for our families. By keeping children who are sick home helps lower the chances of others getting ill. Continue to utilize the Self Screener to make the call to either come to school, or remain at home to rest. Thank you all for your assistance with this!
For more information, you may visit our district's website regarding the required quarantine process and our school's layered mitigation strategies. If you have any questions regarding the process or the learning plan for your child if a quarantine is necessary, please speak to your child's teacher or call our office directly.
All The Best,
Mr. Ellis
Proud Principal
Beacon Tree Elementary
