Dear Beech Tree Families,

We can’t wait to see everyone at our Back To School Morning, Friday, August 23rd from 9:30-11am! Bring school supplies and meet your student’s teacher. Monday, August 26th is our 1st Day of School. Friday, August 30th and Monday, September 2nd, school will be closed for Labor Day Weekend. We will see our students again on Tuesday, August 3rd!

I’d like to take this moment to remind you of how important routines are for students. We understand that the first day of school for Kinders is more difficult for us, as parents, than it is for students, so you might want to sign in and walk your child to the classroom and you might choose to use the Kiss & Ride Drop Off even though they will ride the bus the rest of the year. We each need to know our children are happy and safe! Please do prepare your student to be able to hug and kiss you good-bye on the second day of school, from the bus stop or from the front of the school. We have adults stationed around the arrival/departure areas, as well as in the hallways. We will help them walk safely to their classroom. Our students grow to be confident, self-assured individuals because of the trusting relationships we build between school and home.

If your student is struggling with walking to class independently, please reach out to our counselor, Yolanda Adams, at yeadams@fcps.edu We are here for you and our students.

We look forward to a great year!
