HAVE A GREAT WEEK!🐾🍎😊

Dear Beaubien Families,

The safety of our students is our top priority, especially during arrival and dismissal times when traffic around the school tends to be busier. To enhance safety measures, please consider the following reminders:

1. Follow Designated Drop-off: Argyle Street is the only designated area for dropping off students in the morning. Avoid stopping or parking in areas marked as no-parking zones, as they are designated for the safety of everyone

2. Be Mindful of Pedestrians: If you park and walk your child into school, which is HIGHLY encouraged, be mindful of pedestrians and use designated crosswalks. There are many open spots to park just 2 blocks away from school.

3. Always adhere to traffic rules and be aware of the school's traffic flow.

4. Above ALL, please remain Patient and Courteous: Traffic during arrival and dismissal times can be hectic. Please exercise patience, be courteous to fellow parents, and follow any instructions provided by school staff.

We ask that all of our Beaubien families who drop off their children to be courteous to our neighbors and not block driveways. Every year the school receives numerous complaints about this problem and we need everyone's help to ensure the safety of our students. Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to your child's education.

Sincerely,

Principal Ludford

We are requesting (pleading) that all of our families fill out the family income form and return it to your child's homeroom teacher.

We receive extra funding based on the amount of qualifying forms we process.

Please complete one form per family with all students listed. We need a signed/hard copy form from every family

For a copy of the form CLICK HERE

If you haven’t already, PLEASE pay the $75 instructional fee for each of your students. The funds go towards consumable educational materials that our teachers use everyday during instruction for our students. If you are having difficulty, we are more than happy to have a payment plan. Please see the office for more information. Click HERE to pay online.

Instructions can be found HERE

Students will come with their classrooms during the day to take their individual photos. There is no need to register/sign up.

If your child is absent or you are unhappy with your pictures, Retakes are scheduled for October 16th. More information about proofs, ordering and retakes coming.

We are happy to offer families the opportunity to take Sibling Portraits! Here is what to know:

After school (September 18) starting at 2:45pm photographers will be on hand to take SIBLING PHOTOS. An adult must be present.

1. Do I need to sign up for sibling pictures?
Yes, registration is needed for SIBLING PHOTOS to help ease the process. Please sign up HERE​​​​​​​

2. Are all siblings welcome?
Yes, all siblings, all ages, all schools are welcome!

3. Where do I need to go for sibling photos?
ADULTS/PARENTS: Please arrive with your students starting at dismissal. Photographers will be in the 3rd floor gym. This will be on a first come, first serve basis. Volunteers are Beaubien parents and not employees of Picture Day. Your patience is appreciated.

VOLUNTEERS will be on hand to direct families to the next available photographer. Volunteers will be assisting photographers. Parents, we ask that you monitor your students to protect the delicate photography equipment.

4. What if I don't like my pics or if I miss picture day?
Sibling pictures cannot be rescheduled and will not be offered during retakes.
