Dear Bobcat Families,
We hope all enjoyed the Labor Day Weekend! We have been busy at Beverly this short week. As with a new month, we practiced our safety drills today with all of our students. The students and staff did an excellent job at our Hold Drill & Fire Drill. Please see information about our Safety Protocols: SRP information
Our Bobcats have been working hard completing their beginning of year MAP testing. With our new Skyward system, currently parents cannot view student’s MAP scores. All beginning of year assessment data will be shared with parents at our parent teacher conferences in November. For now a work around for parents/guardians is to ask their student to login to Webdesk and select the student Edugence tile.
Select Other Assessment on the far left.
Scroll down within the box to see the MAP probability ranges.
Below the MAP probability ranges, a table shows the RIT ranges by subject and instructional areas.
We are excited to announce that Beverly won a district attendance award, Attendance Champion Campus (2023-2024) school year! Thank you parents for supporting our attendance goals with students at school and on time as much as possible!
