Bobcat Bulletin10/14/24

Beech Street School believes in the power of a growth mindset. We are committed to our education, and we demonstrate resilience by persevering through our mistakes. With an optimistic outlook and consistent effort, we understand that with practice, we can overcome challenges. We take responsibility for our actions and learning, and treat one another with respect, to foster a caring and safe environment for all. As a community, we take pride in being Bobcat PROUD together!

Growth Mindset Family Night 10/17/24 5:30-6:30

Please join us for a fun family night activity, learning about your Growth Mindset! This is a classroom lesson that your students practice during school. What is a Growth Mindset? A growth mindset is the belief that through hard work and practice, anyone can gain and improve their ability to accomplish great things. A growth mindset is a necessary component of student learning. Students encounter new challenges in class and learning every day. A growth mindset is also important for families. Families encounter new challenges together every day of every month of every year. With a growth mindset, these challenges can be viewed more as a challenge to be worked through rather than an obstacle.


Students will participate in


  • Fun teacher-guided activities

Safety Drill Practice

On Wednesday, each class will discuss the reverse evacuation procedure. Teachers will give detailed instructions to students on what to do in case we need to enter the building quickly from recess. All classes will practice a reverse evacuation at the end of their scheduled recess time. It's important for parents to talk to their children about how to respond in an emergency at school or in public. Throughout the school year, we will have regular fire drills, lockdown drills, and other emergency preparedness exercises to ensure everyone is well-prepared and to maintain a safe school environment.

October Class Challenge!

In October, the class with the fewest unexcused absences will win the class attendance challenge. We understand that there may be unavoidable reasons for your student's absence, but it's important to let the school know when they can't make it. You can excuse absences with a simple call or email to the school, as long as your student has missed less than ten days. Absences can also be excused with a doctor's note. We know how important attendance is, but it's equally important to keep your student home if they have a fever, are vomiting, or have diarrhea for 24 hours after the symptoms go away.

We understand that as a parent, you may have specific concerns about your child's education and well-being. However, during student pickup, our teachers need to focus on ensuring a safe departure for all students with their families. We also respect the privacy of our students and their families, and therefore, we do not hold personal conversations about a student during this time. If you would like to speak with your child's teacher, please feel free to use one of the communication methods provided, and our teacher will respond to you as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding!
