Beaver Bulletin
September Edition
Be Your Beaver Best
We are committed to creating a school where every scholar is Safe, Respectful, and Responsible. At the beginning of the year and throughout the year, scholars are explicitly taught our 3 B’s: Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Be Responsible and what those expectations look like in the classroom, hallway, restroom, cafeteria, bus, arrival, dismissal, assemblies, and other school spaces.
Teaching positive behavior is an important part of academic success. When scholars make positive choices, teachers can focus on teaching, scholars can focus on learning, and we can maximize valuable instructional time.
How You Can Help: Reinforce the 3 B’s at home by reminding your scholar that you expect them to:
- Be Safe — keep hands, feet, and objects to themselves and follow safety procedures.
- Be Respectful — use kind words, listen to adults, respect others, and accept redirection.
- Be Responsible — follow directions the first time, come prepared to learn, and take responsibility for their choices.
Talk with your scholar about being their “Beaver Best,” and support school expectations and procedures when concerns arise. When home and school communicate the same expectations, scholars understand that we are all working together to help them succeed.
You are part of our Beaver community, and We Are Better Together!
Better Together
We want Boyd to be more than a school—we want it to be a community where every scholar feels safe, supported, valued, and connected. Learning happens best when scholars trust the people they are learning from and feel connected to the people they are learning with.
Through our Building Brighter Beavers Morning Meetings, scholars will learn and practice important life skills such as building friendships, managing emotions, solving problems, communicating with others, and self-regulating. We will model what it means to support one another, help each other grow, and encourage others to do their best.
How You Can Help: Get your scholar to school on time so they are ready for Morning Meeting at 8:50 a.m. Ask them what they are learning during Morning Meeting and encourage them to practice those skills at home.
One of our most important messages is “Use Your Words, Not Your Hands.” Please reinforce this at home by encouraging your scholar to talk through problems, express how they feel, ask an adult for help, and walk away when needed. Learning to handle conflict with words is not only important for school—it is a skill that will benefit them throughout life.
Together, we are building a community of Brighter Beavers because We Are Better Together!
Our Boyd Beaver has been part of our school family for a long time—but there’s one thing missing… a name!
This year, as we celebrate being Better Together, we want our entire Beaver community to help us choose a name that represents Boyd pride, our school values, and what it means to be Beaver Best.
