Letter from the Principal

Dear Beers Street Families,

The PTO Silly String-O-Ween fundraiser has begun! The homeroom that donates the most money between now and October 25th will get to silly-string me, the principal, at the Halloween Dance. Donations go towards funding field day.

The Halloween Dance is scheduled for Friday, October 25th, from 3:00 - 4:30 PM. Please make arrangements for your child to be picked up at 4:30. Students are encouraged to wear black, orange, and purple (students may wear costumes on Halloween). Permission slips were sent home. Please return permission slips by this Tuesday. Here's a link to the permission slip and more info

Halloween is Thursday, October 31st, and students are encouraged to wear costumes to school. Please follow the dress code and note the following to ensure a fun and safe day. Apparel with offensive, profane, or inappropriate messages or images will not be permitted. This includes masks, toy weapons, or revealing clothing. Please do not bring snacks or candy to school. 

Please take a moment to nominate one of our Beers Street teachers for the Governor's Educator of the Year award. Here's a link to the Nomination Form. Completed Nomination Forms should be returned to the main office by Friday, November 15th. Thank you!

Mark your calendars and save the date! Beers Street School's Winter Concert will be held on Friday, December 13th, at 1:30 pm in the Beers Street School auditorium. The concert will feature our intermediate and advanced bands and the 6th grade chorus singing a fun selection of winter and holiday songs. Our students are busy practicing, and we can't wait to perform for you!  More details will be sent home with the performers soon.  

Picture Re-Take Day is Friday, November 22nd. 

Beers Street School PTO membership is $10 per family, but all monetary donations are greatly appreciated. Dues can be paid via Venmo- @BeersStreetPTO. Please include your child's first name, last name, and teacher in the message box. Dues can also be paid by sending in cash or a check. Checks should be made out to "Beers Street PTO."

We encourage staff and students to wear Bulldog green on Fridays for school spirit. You may also purchase spirit wear here.

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

Have a great weekend!
