Every month, the staff and students at Beer Middle School work on a character trait. The character trait for November is Advocate. Advocate means speaking up for yourself and other in a respectful way. Self advocacy means learning to speak up for your own needs, feelings, and ideas in a confident and respectful way. To advocate means to speak up, support, or take action for yourself or for someone else when it's the right thing to do. An advocate is a person who takes action to help others or to make a positive change.

Beer Middle School Parents, all 7th and 8th Grade students have completed Xello which is all about career exploration. Students completed Xello in their social studies classes and all students have a username and login for Xello. If you would like to learn more, please see the flyer below and/or have your student login to Xello and explore careers with your student.

Dear Parent or Guardian:

We are pleased to inform you that we will be participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) as part of the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

The GREAT NEWS is that ALL students enrolled at our schools can receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at NO CHARGE to your household each day.

In place of the Free and Reduced-Price Meal Application, we still need your household to complete a Education Benefit Form. This report is critical in determining the amount of money that our school receives from a variety of State and Federal supplemental programs like Title I A, At-risk (31a), Title II A, E-Rate, etc.

These supplemental programs have the potential to offer supports and services for our students including, but not limited to:

• Instructional supports (staff, supplies & materials, etc.)
• Non-instructional services (counseling, social work, health services, etc.)
• Professional Learning for staff
• Parent and Community engagement supplies and activities
• Technology

We are asking that you please complete and submit the Education Benefit Form as soon as possible to ensure that additional funding for our school is available to meet the needs of our students. All information on the report submitted is confidential. Without your assistance in completing and returning the report, our school cannot maximize the use of available State and Federal funds.

If we can be of any further assistance, pleases the Nutrition Services office at 586.698.4158.

Attendance matters, if your child is sick/absent, please call the attendance line at 586-698-4489. Students and parents can check their teacher's Schoology page http://www.wcskids.net/Departments/Curriculum/LearningAtHome/schoology/index.htmlor email their teachers http://www.wcskids.net/empdirectory/location.aspx?loc=25 for absent/missed work
