Dear Bobcat Families,

What an amazing nine weeks of school we have completed! Today, we invited the Plano Senior High School Pep Band to come to our assembly as part of our Team Plano ISD theme for this year. The kids were so excited to to hear the band and feel the spirit of Plano!!! As we did last year, each nine weeks we will be presenting Principal Awards to certain students and those parents will be invited to our Assembly. We are so proud of our students' growth and perseverance this first quarter and look forward to the next nine weeks!

As a reminder, if you come up to school to help, have lunch with your student or come to an event, you will have to sign in in the office. This requires your ID badge and check in with Mrs. Parker in the front office. Thank you for you support with this important step to keeping our students, staff & school safe.

Skyward updates: Please make sure you have completed your Family Access with emergency contacts and you have answered questions about yearbook, publications, and social media. We would love to share student’s success or pictures as part of our Beverly social media posts and yearbook pictures. Also, Skyward has all your student’s grades and progress report information. The end of our first nine weeks is October 11th, and report cards will be viewable via Family Access in Skyward by October 24th. You will be able to sign an acknowledgement in Skyward that report cards have been viewed.

Congratulations to our Fire Poster winners! We had so many great entries and look forward to displaying in our entryway after Fall Break!

Thank you for your support of our Campus Fundraiser! We hope everyone enjoys the beautiful fall weather and time with family. See you all on Monday, October 21st.

Don’t forget these dates/information:

Parents/Guardians can add absence requests for students to indicate a day or range of days that they will not be in school. You will add absence requests via Skyward Family Access. If your child will be out sick for the day or will be gone due to a family vacation, you can enter an absence request to indicate these details. Here is a Step-by-Step Guide.

If you are dropping off lunch, Kindergarten lunches must be delivered by 10:45 a.m. All other grade levels must be here by 11 a.m. If you are writing a check for the cafeteria, fill it out completely, or it will be returned home with your student. Checks can be made out to FANS or Food and Nutritional Services. Below are the lunch times for each grade level.

Kinder - 11:00 - 11:30

1st - 11:15-11:45

2nd - 11:45-12:15

3rd - 12:30-1:00

Remember, school starts at 7:40 a.m. We close the doors promptly at 7:40 a.m. Please arrive on time so your child is not counted tardy. The gym doors open as early as 7 a.m. where they are supervised until we release them to the classroom at 7:30 a.m. Your child also may purchase breakfast in the cafeteria beginning at 7:15 a.m.

Early pick-up is before 2:30 p.m. Those who arrive after that time will have to wait until dismissal at 3 p.m. If you are picking up early, please notifiy the teacher so they can have your student prepared.
