Beaverton Elementary School -

A BIT OWLY: Beaverton Aviary...check that, Beaverton Elementary was chock-full of activity today. As the week's fifth-grade bird house exhibit wound down, students were treated to a visit from the husband-and-wife team of Joe and Barb Rogers of the Wildlife Recovery Association. The Rogerses brought several feathered associates with them, generating what we in the education biz call 'big science' as well as plenty of oohs and ahhs. #BirdsAreCool #GoBeavers

FAMILIES WITH DENTAL NEEDS: The GLB Health Centers Dental Bus is returning to Beaverton Schools next week, and if your student needs some preventative dental services, this is a great opportunity. The mobile dentist will be at the school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday next week for all interested K-12 students. Services offered will include preventative measures like cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments and sealants. Download and complete the form below or pick one up at either school office. #GoBeavers

TO BE FAIR...: Mrs. Johnson's students in the Jobs for Michigan's Graduates program hosted a job fair this morning for young folks looking for work this summer (or beyond). Several local employers were on hand to meet the many students who showed up dressed for success with résumés in hand, ready to make good eye contact and a great first impression. Thanks to all our local employers who took part in helping prepare our kids for life outside of school. #Employable #GoBeavers

HERE'S TO OUR HEALER: Today is National School Nurse Day, and there's nobody better at that job than our very own Jada Carland. She covers both buildings like a blanket, keeping our kids safe, healthy and ready to learn, and she's vital to our educational community. #Healthy

BES Running Club 1 Mile Fun Run will be on Wednesday, May 31 at 4:00.

SHORT STORY SHORT: We'll keep this simple: Beaverton teachers are amazing, and all week long, we're going to celebrate them for everything they do for our kids. Watch this space for Beaverton teacher profiles that are equal parts heartfelt and instructive, and if the mood strikes you, reach out to a teacher you love and tell 'em why. Nothing says 'thank you' like saying the words 'thank you.' (But chocolate's a pretty decent Plan B.) #TeacherAppreciationWeek #GoBeavers

ELEMENTARY BUS DISMISSAL TIME CHANGE: We will be temporarily dismissing students at 3:07pm effective Wednesday, May 3, 2023 until further notice. We are encountering transportation issues that are causing the delay. Our transportation supervisor is working to rectify this situation so that we can resume our normal dismissal time. You will be notified when we resume with the 3:02 dismissal. If you need your child prior to that time, please contact our office for arrangements. We apologize for the change. As always, thank your for support and understanding.

DY-NO-MITE! Teachers and staff at BES, forever seeking ways to engage students during state testing like this week's M-STEP exams, brought in a ringer at an assembly this morning - Dynamite the Dinosaur. The vaguely familiar T-Rex fired up students, encouraging them to get a solid night's rest, eat a good breakfast, pace themselves and embrace this opportunity to show their growth. The teaching staff led a loud and spirited song-and-dance routine that left kids ready to run through a wall. Testing begins tomorrow. #LetsDoThis #GoBeavers
