Dear Beech Tree Families, Our Beech Tree PTA will be hosting another “Family Meeting” via Zoom on Monday, July 13th at 6:30pm. We will send you the link by Monday morning through eNotify. Please send any questions you may have to meganlaboy@gmail.com. Please write “July13th” in the subject line to assist her as she organizes your questions and concerns. I know that this is a difficult decision. I continue to go back and forth between virtual and in-person for my own son. He wants to return to school, even if he only gets to see some of his friends only two days a week. I prefer he remain virtual without interruption to his instruction during these unusual times. I may change my choice on the evening of July 15th. Should you be in the same boat you may access the link again, by visiting this page: https://www.fcps.edu/enroll2020. Additionally, FCPS has created videos to assist: English: https://youtu.be/j-a1gRtUBVg Spanish: https://youtu.be/_Tp4sYhuF74 You will need your child’s student ID number, which can be found on any of your child’s FCPS report cards. Should you or someone you know need assistance in one of our predominant Beech Tree languages, please refer to these FCPS phone numbers:   Spanish = 571-423-4950   Vietnamese = 571-423-4956   Arabic = 571-423-4952   Our Parent Liaison, Stella O’Brien, may also be contacted at msobrien@fcps.edu for any further assistance.   Also, I ask that you please have your children visit our Summer Learning Teachers during their office hours. They are available and happy to talk to your child about all their Summer Learning Experiences:

As always, I thank you for your trust. I also want to thank you, again, for your constant support of our staff. Balancing “being there” for both our #BeechTreeFamily children and young children at home, has become especially difficult during this time of uncertainty. I am able to allow our staff’s students to attend all four days in-person, if they live in Fairfax County, but am not able to provide the same opportunity to staff members who live outside of Fairfax County. I have also offered to have Pack-n-Plays in my office and to take care of all the babies, but I’m sure feeding time could get complicated….Your concern for our staff never goes unnoticed. Thank you so much!

Stay safe,

Karim Daugherty
