Bobcats Learning & Leading
Good evening Beck Community,
Learning
After the 3rd week of school, we are diving into content in all subject areas. Curious about what your student is learning? Our District Curriculum platform, Rubicon Atlas is publicly accessible and provides curriculum maps of the Units of Study for every course. Our expert educators ensure that all NJ Learning Standards are delivered to students in each subject and incorporate student choice and diverse perspectives in their lessons and activities.
Also don't forget to check and see if your student is using their Beck Student Planner. This is a great communication tool for you and your student's teachers.
Leading
Student Government Association (SGA) has begun the election process with interested students filling out the application for acceptance and submitting a FlipGrid video for the election. All information was provided to students in Advisory. Any student in need of assistance should speak with their Advisory Teacher or Grade Level Counselor. All applications and FlipGrid videos are due by end of day on Wednesday, September 24.
This year, Beck SGA will join the NJ Association of Student Council organization and be mentored by the East SGA. Our advisors, Mr. Packer and Ms. Malkinski are eager to work with on leadership skills with the Beck students.
