Dear Beers Street Families,
NJSLA testing begins next Wednesday, May 10th, and will run through Friday, May 19th. If students own a set of headphones, they should bring them to school for testing purposes (bluetooth headphones are not permitted). We encourage students to eat breakfast and get a good night's rest so they are ready to do their best.
Wednesday, May 10th, is the Beers Street School Art Show from 6:00 - 7:00 PM. The Odyssey of the Mind Team will be selling snacks and refreshments. The proceeds will help support their trip to the World Championship at Michigan University. Following the Art Show will be a PTO meeting at 7:00 PM. Last week's email said 8:00 PM. That was an error.
Next week the PTO is planning to hold a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week for the Beers Street School faculty. They need your support. Please see the PTO Teacher Appreciation Request.
The school calendar was updated because the district did not utilize any emergency snow days this year. The last day of school is now Wednesday, June 21st. Here's a link to the updated School Calendar.
Below are important upcoming events:
Art Show - Wednesday, May 10th, 6:00 - 7:00 PM (PTO Meeting to Follow)
Spring Concert - Friday, May 19th, 1:30 - 2:30 PM on the playground
Drama Club Production - Friday, June 7th, 7:00 PM
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!
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. Students can ask questions, go over homework, or review a concept they may need help understanding. Students must join the Online Homework Help Google Classroom to attend. The code to join is xxw37fp.
Enjoy the weekend!
Sincerely,
Ian Collis
Principal
