Dear Beagle Middle School Families,
Here are some updates that we wanted to share at this time:
No School Tomorrow, Teacher PD: Just a reminder that students do not report to school tomorrow, October 3rd as GLPS staff have district-wide PD. Classes resume on Monday, October 6th.
Hispanic Heritage Week at BMS Next Week: Hispanic Heritage Month runs from September 15th-October 15th. Next week, we will be hosting a spirit week to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. Navy And Yellow Traditional Community Celebration Hispanic Heritage Month Flyer.png
PowerSchool, Family Communication Archive, and Grades: We wanted to send along a reminder to our families that PowerSchool course grades are updated weekly by our teaching staff, and that grades can and will change throughout the school year. Both homework and assessments are graded at Beagle under a traditional grading system, which is new to our 7th-grade students and families. We encourage family members to continue to review each teacher’s Family Communication Archive at the top of their gradebook in PowerSchool as this share with families upcoming essential learnings, assignments, projects, and assessments. At Beagle, we use this as our communication tool in lieu of inundating our families with 6 emails every other week from teachers; this would be overwhelming! Our staff also try to be as communicative as possible within the gradebook by making comments regarding specific assignments, etc. While we are a standards-focused instructional school just like the buildings below our level, the reality is that our grading system is still traditional at this level and beyond. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your student’s progress in a specific class, please be sure to reach out to the specific teacher.
Fundraiser Assembly: Again, we thank our families that were able to participate in the Hayes/Beagle PTO fundraiser this past month. Thanks to the efforts of our families, the fundraising company will be hosting a BMX assembly later in November, and all of our students will be able to attend the fundraiser. Top contributors to the fundraiser will be awarded VIP seating.
Washington, D.C. Information - Popcorn Fundraiser Forms and Money are due Monday, 9/29 to your child's history teacher. Pick up is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14th from 3:30-5:30 in the Beagle Cafeteria.
Last Kona Ice Until Spring: Our last Kona Ice for this fall is scheduled for next week Friday, October 10th.
Hayes/Beagle PTO Meeting: Our next PTO meeting will be held here at Beagle Middle in our Media Center on Tuesday, October 7th at 6:30pm; this is a change on account of the choir concert next week. We encourage family members to attend these meetings. We have a strong joint PTO thanks to the many volunteers that serve, and our PTO does a great deal for both school and our community. Please join us if you are able to do so. Please also know that attendance at one meeting does not necessitate or require future attendance; in short, family participation is consistently a “no strings attached” approach.
