Dear Beagle Middle School Parents,
Here are some updates that we wanted to share at this time:
Unified Champions Pickle Ball Tournament: Yesterday, some of our Beagle Middle School students participated in the Unified Champions Pickle Ball tournament at Central Michigan University. A huge shout out to student athletes and Mrs. Welton and Mr. Arnett for supporting this great opportunity for our students. Several of our students and teachers sent our student athletes on their way with signs and cheers, which brought huge smiles to the faces of our student athletes! Another great example of Comet PRIDE!
Everson Guild Award Recipients: As the school year winds down, we want to take a moment to recognize two students who have made a significant impact here at Beagle Middle School. Back in September students learned about being positive and respectful, having integrity and determination, and always giving their best effort. Students also learned about why showing Comet PRIDE would make Beagle Middle School a better place to be. These messages have continued to be echoed to our student body throughout the year. Everson Guild, a student at Hayes Middle School from 2015-2017, tragically passed away in the summer of 2017. While at school, Everson demonstrated Comet PRIDE every day. He was compassionate, encouraging, determined and always a friend. Most of all, Everson was a vibrant spirit who was proud to be a Comet. In memory of Everson Guild, the Beagle Middle School staff have recognized 8th grader Charlie Fredericks and 7th grader Emily Calderon for their demonstration of Comet PRIDE this year. Thank you Charlie and Emily for making Beagle a better place to be!
Last Day of School, Big Fun Day: On Friday, June 6th, students will go to their CNC class for the first few moments of the morning. Around 8am, students will be released to engage in Big Fun Day where there will be several indoor and outdoor activities awaiting them. Our PBIS team hosts this event every year from fundraising efforts through Kona Ice. Planet X events always does an outstanding job providing our students with a variety of inflatables and games to enjoy. There will also be a DJ outside. We thank both our PBIS team and Planet X events for supporting event for our students. Students report back to their CNC around 10:40am, and they are released at 10:50am. If you child needs to be picked up early, please be sure to inform them, in advance, of when to be in the main office. Students may have their phones on the last day, but students are not allowed to bring any bags, backpacks, etc.
Chromebook Collection, 8th Grade Only: 7th grade students will keep their chromebooks and chargers over the summer as long as they are returning to Beagle Middle next year. 8th graders will be turning in their chromebooks and chargers starting June 3rd in CNC. Chromebooks and chargers will be scanned back into the system and inspected for damages, etc.
Yearbooks: Yearbooks will be distributed during CNC on Monday to those that purchased them online earlier in the year. Our vendor did send about 20 additional yearbooks, which can be purchased in the main office for $15 cash. Once those are gone, additional yearbooks can be ordered online through our vendor, and the yearbook will be shipped to the student’s residence. A shipping fee will be charged.
Medication Pick-Up: If your student currently has medication at Beagle Middle School, including daily medications, emergency medications, or medication for the Washington DC trip, the deadline for medication pickup is June 6th, 2025, by 11:00 am. After this deadline, all medication will be disposed of. If your child will need medications at school for the 2025/26 school year, you can get that paperwork then as well. That will give you time to get all required Physician signatures by the start of the school year. Please be aware that students ARE NOT allowed to transport medication home on the bus.
Lost and Found: Please encourage your student to double check our lost and found. Items left after June 6th will be donated.
How to Find NWEA Scores: Here is a helpful link to locate your student’s NWEA scores via Parent Portal: https://www.loom.com/share/6a453d4c4cd14071a261b8be81eaafd7?sid=ba3f3032-cdaf-43ef-9d1f-1a1a30ae8293
Summer/Fall Athletic Information: We have worked with our athletic office to create a proactive document for our families to access before heading into summer that provides information about upcoming athletic opportunities over the summer and into the fall for our rising to Beagle and GLHS students. This information is also embedded on the homepage of our website: https://glcomets-cdn.fxbrt.com/downloads/beagle_middle_school/athletics--hayes_to_bms_bms_to_glhs_1.pdf
Rising 8th Grade Schedule Pick-Up/Picture Day: Rising 8th graders will be able to pick up their schedules for next year on Wednesday, August 20th from 4-7pm in the Beagle cafeteria. As shared last week, schedules are not viewable in PowerSchool until August 19th due to unforeseen circumstances with staffing and logistics that can and will pop up over summer vacation.
Rising 7th Grade Schedule Pick-up/Picture Day: For families that have current 6th graders at Hayes, schedule pick-up/school pictures will be on Tuesday, August 19th from 4-7pm in the Beagle Cafeteria. We will communicate directly with all 6th grade families at the end of next week as well.
