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.

Congratulations to Mrs. Bukowski's 4th grade for winning the December Class Challenge!


December brought some challenges for attendance, especially with the delayed opening and the wave of winter illnesses that made its rounds at school. We completely understand how important attendance is, but we also want to emphasize that it’s equally essential to keep your child at home if they have a fever, have vomited, or if they’re dealing with diarrhea for 24 hours after the symptoms have resolved. You can support your child's attendance by reaching out to the school via phone or email to excuse absences if they’ve missed fewer than ten days. Additionally, a doctor's note will excuse absences!

January Class Challenge!

For January, we will continue to focus on students being at school daily or having their absence excused by a family member calling the school. This month, the winner of the class challenge will be the class with the most improvement from December.

January School Challenge

This month, we are taking on the school challenge again to further encourage meeting our attendance goals. In December, eight classes improved their attendance. If 15 classes raise their percentage this month, all students will receive a special treat the first week in February.

Family Survey
We would like to hear about how you feel about our school. We will use your answers to find ways we can improve our school. You do not have to answer all of the questions. This survey is anonymous – nobody will know your answers came from you.

Contacting your child's teacher

Ways to contact your child's teacher:


  1. Email
  2. Call (603)624-6314 and leave them a message
  3. School Status Connect App (Coming Soon)


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!
