Dear Beech Tree Families,
We hope you are enjoying this Friday with unseasonably warm spring-like temperatures! It's hard to believe that schools were closed last week, and children were outside playing in the snow.
As a friendly reminder, please remember that the third quarter is set to begin on Monday, January 29th. Our teachers are finalizing grades. Second-quarter grades will be available on Monday, February 5th, through SIS ParentVue. This is a great opportunity to remind students about the importance of attending school and working their best while being respectful and responsible citizens.
February promises to bring us more great opportunities to learn and have fun together as the 100th day of school is approaching. We look forward to celebrating this milestone on February 8th. We are proud of the progress our students have made in their learning and growth and we cannot wait to see what the next 100 days will bring! Our virtual PTA meeting is scheduled for February 1st and the PTA Talent Show will be held on February 22nd. We have plenty of reasons to celebrate and come together as a community. Enjoy your weekend. We will see you on Monday!
Thank you for your continued support and partnership.
With appreciation,
Principal Clarke
