Dear Parents,
Welcome back! We hope you enjoyed a restful and fun fall break with your loved ones. It was wonderful to see our students return this week with smiles, energy, and excitement to learn.
As we move into this busy season filled with learning, celebrations, and special events, our focus remains on high-quality instruction and academic growth. Teachers are working diligently to ensure that every minute of learning time counts. We encourage families to help students stay on track by:
-
Maintaining strong attendance and arriving on time each day
-
Encouraging students to read daily and complete assignments
-
Setting routines that support focus and rest
We’re proud of the hard work our students have shown so far this year, and together we can make this next stretch one of continued progress and success.

Early Check-Out Reminder
As stated in the Beneke Elementary Handbook, the latest time to check your student out for the day is 2:45 p.m. After this time, we will not release students, as our staff is focused on preparing for dismissal.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and efficient dismissal process.
Según lo establecido en el Manual de Beneke Elementary, la hora lÃmite para recoger a su hijo(a) es a las 2:45 p.m. Después de esta hora, no entregaremos a los estudiantes, ya que nuestro personal estará enfocado en prepararse para la salida.
Agradecemos su cooperación para ayudarnos a mantener un proceso de salida seguro y eficiente.
