Dear Beers Street Families,

The Kids Heart Challenge runs until March 24th. Students will participate in physical challenges in their gym classes and raise funds for children with special hearts. Please consider giving to this worthy cause. You can find out more here at Beers Street's Kids Heart Challenge. 

The Community Club is holding its annual 'Name the Bulldog' fundraiser. All proceeds go to the Monmouth County SPCA. Click here to see the flyer and learn more. 

Parents are invited to attend a special meeting on cyber safety at Raritan High School on Tuesday, February 28th, at 6:00 PM in the auditorium. Expert Clayton Crawford will deliver an informative presentation on parenting in a digital world and online safety. Mr. Crawford will also visit Beers Street School during the day and deliver an assembly for students.

Attention 6th grade families: You can submit a short message congratulating your child and have it featured in our yearbook. You can submit up to 4 messages per child. Each message will cost $4.00. Click here to learn more about 6th grade yearbook boosters.

Attention all 6th grade families. If you would like your baby photo featured in the yearbook, please bring them in. Submit a copy of your baby photo to your homeroom teacher labeled with your name and homeroom on the back. You may also email your photo to BeersStreetYearbook@gmail.com The subject line must include "6th Grade Baby Photo, Student Name, Homeroom Teacher." Baby photos are due by March 15th, 2023. Should you have any questions or concerns, please email yearbook advisor Ms. Alda at balda@hazlet.org. 

When emailing the school nurse about your child's absence, please send the email to bssattendance@hazlet.org. You may also continue to report absences by calling nurse Pat Raphael at 732 264-1107, ext. 3003. Thank you!

Raritan High School will be putting on the musical production Annie in March. Click here for show dates and more information. 

Language arts tutoring is offered on Tuesdays, and math tutoring on Thursdays. Tutoring sessions go from 2:50 - 3:45 PM. There is no bus for tutoring. Therefore parents should make transportation arrangements. If you would like your child to attend tutoring, please complete this form and return it to your child's homeroom teacher. 

Online Homework Help will also begin next week. Online homework help is offered Monday through Thursday from 6:00 - 7:00 PM.

Have a great weekend!
