Dear Beech Tree Families,
We hope that everyone was able to find a little sunshine amongst some very overcast weather this week. We had sunny days in our halls while the students worked their hardest during SOL's and classwork. We are always so proud of how each student shows up to demonstrate their knowledge.
We wish everyone a wonderful weekend. We are grateful for your support as we work diligently to wrap-up the school year. Thank you to every mom, dad, grandparent, and extended family members who support our students' endeavors. We and they could not do it without you!
Thank you for your partnership in education.
With appreciation,
Principal Clarke

Class Placement Input
As the 2023-2024 school year is coming to a close, the Beech Tree staff is starting to prepare for the 2024-2025 school year. Class placement is one of the most important tasks that our staff engage in during the last weeks of school. In this process, we consider many things, such as heterogeneous groupings, balancing academic abilities, and maximizing the support our resource teachers can provide students.
If you feel that there is pertinent information to support your child’s success, please complete this optional Class Placement Input Form by Friday, May 17th. Please note that this system is not intended for families to request specific teachers. Your child’s current classroom teacher, specialists, counselors, and administrators will collaborate to make well-balanced classes. We value and consider your insight into your child’s learning needs.

Greetings Beaver Families,
Beech Tree is hosting a Career Share Event on Wednesday, June 5th for our Beaver students in Pre-K to 5th grade. We encourage parents and family members from all jobs to sign up and share with our students! Children enjoy and learn so much as presenters explain their career and show “tools of the trade” with the students. If you’re feeling unsure about how to make the presentation student friendly, know that we will be providing guiding topics to talk about. 😊
Career Share Day Volunteer Time Slots:
- 9:45am - 11:00am (Pre-K – 2nd)
- 1:45pm - 3:00pm (3rd - 5th)
You can choose to volunteer in the morning, afternoon, or both! Each presentation will be 15 minutes. Parents will rotate to a new class to share the same presentation up to 3 times. If you would like to volunteer, sign up below by Friday, May 17th. We look forward to hearing from you. Please email or call Diamond Torres, Beech Tree School Counselor, at adtorres@fcps.edu or 703-531-2600 with questions!!
