This morning, in accordance with state law, our school conducted a shelter-in-place security drill. All students and staff were notified that this was only a drill and there was no danger. Our staff and students did a great job. We appreciate the continued support, input, and collaboration with our local police department. We continue to review and reflect on our practices to help ensure the safety of everyone in our school.

Olivia was nominated by her teachers to represent Beach Haven Elementary School at the Unsung Hero Student Recognition Awards, held on May 21, 2024, at the RWJ Barnabas Health Arena in Toms River. Olivia is an upstander and a role model at her school. She can often be seen assisting not only school staff, but the younger students as well. Olivia understands the true value of friendship and offers compassion to those that need it. Congratulations Olivia as being recognized as an Unsung Hero!

Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve at higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance. This relationship between attendance and achievement may appear early in a child's school career. A recent study looking at young children found that absenteeism in kindergarten was associated with negative first grade outcomes such as greater absenteeism in subsequent years and lower achievement in reading, math, and general knowledge

Chronic Absenteeism is defined by the U.S. Department of Education as missing 15 days or more a year. If your child reaches 18 or more absences, it then has to be reported to the State of New Jersey for our School Performance Reports.

If you wish to have a student seen by our school counselor, please fill out this form. The responses to this form will be checked once a week.
