Valentine Dance Information Flyer (also below)

We are so excited about our Valentine’s Dance scheduled for tomorrow after school! We did not know what to expect, but the kids and families must be excited because we have over 250 students staying after to attend!

Since there are so many students attending this event, the dismissal process and parking may provide some challenges. We ask that you give us some grace as our goal is to ensure that students have a good time and are safe. We anticipate that the dismissal process will take a little time. Thank you in advance for understanding.

1. Be sure to bring your ID.
2. Notes are required if children are being picked up by someone other than their parent/guardian. Bring the note with you.
3. Park anywhere you can that is safe.
4. Walk to the gym entrance (the car rider area) off of Bayside Road.
5. Staff will give you a sign out sheet. You will write your name and the name(s) of the students you are picking up on the sheet. (sample shown below)
6. Staff will verify that your name on the ID matches the name on the sheet.
7. Staff will call the student(s) you are picking up over the microphone.
8. You will enter the gym, unite with the student(s), and walk toward the exit.
9. You will exit the gym using the side door.
10. Staff will be at the side door to collect your sign out sheet.
11. You leave BES with your student and talk about how much fun they had! 😊

Also, as a reminder, snacks will be available for purchase. All snacks are $1.00. There will be lemonade, popcorn, chocolate chip cookies, and Air Head candy available.

For information about family events and youth activities taking place in our community, click the Community Events button, below. Please note: These events and activities are not sponsored by the Calvert County Board of Education or Calvert County Public Schools. We provide equal opportunities to outside agencies to distribute materials that offer opportunities to students and/or their parents, but that permission should not be considered a recommendation or endorsement by the school district.

We are more than halfway through this school year, and we wanted to take this opportunity to remind you that the staff at Beach Elementary is committed to providing a safe learning environment for all students. As you may recall, we employ four school-wide behavior expectations that everyone on campus adheres to: Respect, Responsibility, Ready & Safe.

Working together, we can ensure our school maintains a positive atmosphere for all to learn and grow. We encourage you to have a conversation with your child about our behavior expectations and that there are consequences for students who fail to meet these expectatons.

Also, remember that communication is key to working together effectively. We remind you, “if you see something, say something.” Please report any suspicious activity immediately to authorities. Also, if you notice a change in your child’s behavior or if there have been changes in your family that are impacting your child, please let us know. We are here to support your child’s well-being.

Thank you for your continued partnership.

Our Anchored4Life Club is collecting items for the Linda L. Kelley Animal Shelter in Prince Frederick. We will be accepting donations from Monday, 2/20 – Friday, 3/3. You can either shop on the blue button below and have things sent directly to school, or you can send items in with your student(s). Any little bit helps. Thank you for making our community service project a success!
