Dear Beach Families,

      It is difficult to believe that it has already been two months of school. The staff appreciated the great turn out of families and the conversations shared at Parent/Teacher conferences. Many families stopped in the office and received their child's Unique Identification Code (UIC) which allows internet access to view the gradebook and communicate with the classroom teacher. Viewing the gradebook not only gives a glimpse of how a student is progressing, but it also shares information on what students are learning in class. Feel free to call the Beach office (773-8996) if you have any questions regarding GradeSpeed.

     The Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) began October 14th for our 3rd through 5th grade. The State of Michigan now gives a strict schedule for days to do specific testing. We hope to have results from the publisher by mid-winter and we will send you your child's scores.

     Our Parent group continues to offer many opportunities for involvement. Please mark your calendars for the Fall Fair on October 24th for spaghetti, a talent show and silent auction. This is a wonderful time to visit with other families. Our annual Trunk-R-Treat is October 28th at 6:30. Decorate your vehicle, bring treats to share with our goblins and ghosts and join the fun! Enjoy the beautiful colors of fall and the excitement of your children as seasons change!
