Popcorn Friday is almost here! September 16th will be our first day for students to purchase popcorn. Popcorn prices are as follows: 50 cents per bag for kindergarten and 75 cents per bag for first grade through sixth. Please share any additional questions with your classroom teacher.
THE TIME HAS COME: Please join us this Friday, Sept. 16 at 6:40 p.m. as we officially welcome student-athletes and the community to enjoy the exciting upgrades of our athletic complex at C.W. Metzger Field. The Beavers' varsity football game versus Shepherd will follow the brief ceremony.
TAKING A CLOSER LOOK: Mrs. Wohlschlegel's fourth-graders got an eyeful (and a brainful) of little life made big today, putting all kinds of different stuff under the microscope and getting a good look.
Because we remain committed to taking every necessary precaution to ensure the safety of our student-athletes and spectators, this week's JV Football game against the Pioneers will be played in Clare Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. The varsity football game will be played as scheduled Friday at 7 p.m. at Clare.
Nobody is more anxious and excited to see our teams competing on our home stomping grounds at C.W. Metzger Field than us, so please understand we share your frustration. We appreciate your continued patience, Beaver Nation, and we hope to have some good news to share later this week. Thank you, and #GoBeavers.
YOUR ROOM IS READY: One of the exciting new features of the Beaverton Schools app is Rooms, which offers parents and guardians the opportunity to chat directly with teachers, along with class streams, class announcements and other communications.
Within the past couple of days, you should have received an email asking you to create an account so that you can access Rooms on the app or on the web. The email sender is 'EduRooms' and if you didn't receive it, check your spam folder. If you can't find the email anywhere, please call the school office to get assistance at 989.246.3020 (BES) or 989.246.3010 (BJSHS).
We also have a short video with instructions for using Rooms at https://bit.ly/3B8ZqsM.
And if you haven't yet started using the Beaverton Schools app, now's a great time. You can download it by searching for 'Beaverton Beavers' at Google's Play Store or the Apple App Store.

Good morning Beaverton Families. As clarification - our students at Beaverton Elementary will continue receiving free breakfast and lunch on a daily basis. The media communication regarding the ending of free school lunches was referring to the federal program that was initiated by Congress as a pandemic response. This will not have any effect on the meals being provided to our students.
Students will have menus coming soon to them. However, with the daily food shortage supply chains the menu may have less variety and changes to the menu.
LET'S GO! The first day of school arrives tomorrow, and we're excited to launch an amazing year. Don't forget the first day is a half-day. Students at BES will release at 11:35 a.m., followed by BJSHS at 11:45 a.m.

DID YOU KNOW??? “Across the socioeconomic spectrum, kids arrive back at school every fall much worse off in mathematics than they finished in the spring. On average, students lose approximately 2.6 months of learning in math over the summer.” -from an article called Summer Math Loss published on the Harvard Graduate School of Education website Just a few extra minutes this summer can make a HUGE difference.
