Welcome!
At Beagle Middle School, our vision is to empower ALL students to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. Through collaboration with staff, families, and members of the community, we will continue to create a nurturing environment to provide equitable, engaging, and meaningful learning experiences that stimulate intellectual curiosity and are responsive and flexible to the needs of the whole child.
As we all know, it takes a village to raise a child; therefore, we invite parents to support us here at Beagle. If you are interested in joining our Parent Teacher Organization, then please contact us.
Finally, we are here to support you and your family. Sadie Green, Meagan McMillan, and Lindsay Pellette our main office secretaries, and Jennie Hernandez in our Student Services office are here to assist you in an immediate fashion directing your requests to the appropriate staff, so please do not hesitate to contact us.
Respectfully,
Dave Kushman, Principal
Kelly Shumway, Assistant Principal

We are excited to announce that parents may be able to report student absences via PowerSchool, via “Attendance Monitor” within Parent Portal. Here is a resource for parents reporting absences within Parent Portal: Parent Portal Attendance.pdf. If you have any issues or questions regarding the use of this feature within Parent Portal, please email Ms. Sadie Green, attendance secretary, at greens@glcomets.net. Absences can still be reported by calling our attendance line (517) 925-5680.
Student Sign-Out Procedure- updated 2024-2025
Starting this year, Beagle will be implementing new student sign-out procedures. When a parent comes into the office to sign out their student, we will be scanning ID’s. Please make sure your student’s contact information is up to date. If a name is not listed, we will not allow your student to be signed out during school hours.
School Pictures
For parents interested in ordering school pictures, you may place your order here in advance: https://vando.imagequix.com/g1001134334. If you have any questions regarding school pictures, please contact our secretary, Lindsay Pelette via email at pelettel@glcomets.net. Hard-copy picture order forms will also be available in the main office.
Suggested General Supply List
This is a suggested list of supplies your student may bring to school. Please know all items are not needed for the very beginning of the school year. You may choose to wait until you receive additional information from your child's classroom teacher. It is important to remember that your child will not have a desk in which to keep supplies, so supplies will need to be kept to necessary items only. Thank you!
