Dear Beech Tree Parents,
This week, we will provide instruction through the following ways:
Preschool = Google Meets with students & their parents
Kindergarten & 1st = Blackboard Collaborate & recorded lessons on Blackboard 24/7
2nd Grade through 5th Grade = Blackboard Collaborate & recorded lessons on Google Classroom
ESOL = Google Meets & Google Classroom
Specialists = Blackboard Collaborate & Combination of Blackboard 24/7 & Google Classroom
Strings = Will be transitioning to Google Meets; he will contact you once he reorganizes for his three schools
We are hopeful that this will be a highly successful experience for us all! Next week, May 4th through May 8th, we will celebrate “Staff Appreciation Week!” Megan Laboy, our PTA President, and I will soon share our plans for how best to honor our staff, during our school closure, for their constant dedication and hard work!
Below you will find the hours that our staff are available for live instruction and student support. Keep in mind that Mr. Lindsay’s schedule is what he hopes to offer, once he settles into the change to Google Meets for his three schools.
As always, I thank you for your trust, support and understanding! We are one #BeechTreeFamily! As we celebrate coming together this week, please use the #BeechTreeFamily and tag me @BeechTreeElem as you share photos of our students and staff engaged in virtual instruction! Feel free to email them to me at kddaugherty@fcps.edu with #BeechTreeFamily in the subject line. This week needs to be all about the resilience of students, teachers, and parents!

“Thank A Teacher!”
For the fifth year, the Virginia Lottery is encouraging students, parents and the general public to send “Thank you” notes in the following link: https://thankateacherva.com/ to Virginia's deserving public school teachers during National Teacher Appreciation Week, May 4 – 8. Your favorite teacher could win a Virginia vacation and prizes for your school! Make your favorite teacher smile with a digital thank-you note featuring custom artwork by the three student art contest winners.
“Ms. Britton’s Scholastic Book Fair!”
Only available through Sunday, May 3rd, we will be able to support our wonderful librarian by purchasing books from Scholastic. Books will be shipped directly to students and there is no shipping fee for BOOK orders over $25. If you can, please share the link with you family and friends: https://www.scholastic.com/bf/beechtreeelemschool1
“Yearbook Order!”
Since the pre-order deadline was so soon, we purchased additional yearbooks so that you may still go to: ybpay.lifetouch.com to order one. Select:
BEECH TREE ELEMENTARY and enter Yearbook ID Code: 12152720. The price is $10.00.
“Grades & Report Cards”
Due to the pause in teacher-led “live” instruction, the third quarter has been extended until Friday, May 1, 2020. Students will work with their teachers to make up third quarter missing/incomplete assignments and complete reassessments by May 1, 2020. ParentVUE/StudentVUE access will be turned off to allow for teachers to enter grades from Thursday, April 23 through Friday, May 8. Grades will be available in ParentVUE/StudentVUE on Saturday, May 9. Report card mailings to all parents/guardians who have not opted into electronic delivery will begin on May 12, 2020.
“Kindergarten Registration!”
Please let your neighbors know that Kindergarten Registration has continued, thanks to our incredible Mrs. Do! If they have a child who will be five on or before September 30, 2020, please have them contact Mrs. Susan Do, Beech Tree Registrar, at sndo@fcps.edu to make arrangements for specific enrollment information.
“Send a Note to Local Nursing Homes!”
