Principal’s Message

Welcome to all returning and new families.

It is hard to believe that it is fall again already. I hope that everyone has had a

fantastic break and is looking forward to another busy and successful school year.

We have some new staff this year who are excited to be part of the Beaverly

community. While we were sad to see Mrs. Command leave, I am happy to have

Mrs. Gregg helping me in the office! She is a very experienced school secretary

who will be happy to help so please stop in and meet her. We will be working to

get classes settled for the end of this week so classes are ready to be in full swing

next week. We look forward to seeing everyone at the Open House later this

month. We will continue to post newsletters on the website and deliver them via

email. We will also continue to use the Remind text app so please be sure that your

info is up to date so you will receive current information in a timely manner. If you

have any question please feel free to call me at the school or email me at

tkettles@sd57.bc.ca.

Emergency Procedure changes;

School District 57 has updated the emergency procedure to align with provincial standard practice effective Sept. 1, 2017. Please review the orange reference card that was sent home today for details of the plan and language. Students will be practicing drills and become familiar with the language from assembly’s and classroom teaching. If you have any questions please contact the office.

NEWSLETTERS – Electronic Version Only Newsletters are a main form of communication between parents and the school. It

is very important that parents make a note of changes in schedule, school closures

and other special dates. Newsletters will be sent to those e-mail addresses that

parents have sent us, and are also posted to the school website. Paper copies are

available in the office and if you do not have access to e-mail, please let the office

know and we will ensure your child(ren) get one.

About our School:

Attendance

If your child will be absent or late, please call the school at

(250) 964-9311. The answering machine is on at all times so you can

always leave a message. This helps the school ensure the safety of

our students. If your child does not arrive at school and we have not

been informed of an absence, there will be a call made to the home

to ensure the child is safe.

If children become sick at school, they are to inform their teacher,

who will inform the office. If it is advisable for the child to be sent

home, the parents (or emergency contact) will be phoned and are

expected to arrange for their child to be picked up promptly.

Parents are asked to keep children home from school until they are

fully recovered from their illness (24-48 hours after last incidence of

fever, vomiting or diarrhea). This prevents the spread of viruses and

other communicable diseases. Students should return when they are

prepared and able to actively participate in all classroom activities

and go outside during breaks. Good health is necessary for effective

learning.

Open House Thursday September 27, 2018

Parents please join us from 5:00 till 6:30 pm at Beaverly Elementary School. Meet your children’s teachers and enjoy a hotdog sponsored by our

Beaverly PAC! Hope to see you there!

residing along specific routes. Students may

Diversified is working on the 2018-2019 school

year now and looking for new Courtesy forms.

Please submit your courtesy form at the main

Beaverly office and we will fax it in for you.

Thank you!

For further information, please call the

Transportation Department at 250-561-6802.

Book Fair Thursday September 26-27, 2018

We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting a Scholastic Book Fair this month in the library, the book fair will be open the evening of the open house.

REMIND Text App

Thank you to those who have signed up for

the remind app. The feedback we received

regarding this was very positive We will

continue to use this service for the upcoming

school year. Please ensure that your cell

phone number has been updated with the

office if it has changed this past summer and

if you did not use this last year and would like

to join please call the office. New families to

Beaverly will be added once verification forms are returned. This is a great way

to receive important reminders from school and if you have any questions

please call the office.

PAC Hot Lunch/fundraiser orders

Beaverly PAC will begin using an

online ordering system for all hot

lunch and PAC sponsored

fundraisers. If you wish to order

you will need to set up an account.

First hot lunch this year will be Oct

12th so make sure you have your account before you can order.

Medication

The school is only permitted to administer medication to students if

parents and a doctor have filled in a "Request

for Administration of Medication at

School" form. Completed forms are kept at

the office. For students with severe health

concerns, parents, staff and the health nurse

will develop an "Emergency Health Care

Plan". Please see Mrs. Gregg at the office if

your child will require medication at school

and she will give you a form to have filled out by your doctor.
