Welcome to our new families, including Pre-K and Kindergarten! I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer and is ready to begin the 2023-2024 school year. We are very excited to welcome our students and families back in just one week! Enclosed you'll find some important information as we begin our journey together.

For now, enjoy the remaining days of summer break and get ready for a wonderful school year ahead!

9/8 Back to School Ice Cream Social, 6:30 pm

9/11 PTA Meeting, 6:45 pm

If you haven't already shopped for school supplies, you will find our grade level lists linked below. We are here to assist if you are unable to provide the items at this time.

We are fortunate to have gained some amazing new instructional staff members to A.W. Becker this summer! Please welcome the following people to A.W. Becker:

Ms. Miller- Grade 1

Ms. Chamberlin- Grade 1

Ms. Loomis- Special Education

Ms. Palmiotto- Reading Intervention

Ms. Rogan- Speech

Ms. Blessing- School Psychologist

Ms. Hotaling- Instructional Technology/Library Media

In addition, the following teachers will be joining us from another RCS building. We are happy to welcome:

Ms. Kobylar- Music

Mr. Wamsley- Band

Finally, you will notice a new name (Mrs. Mitchell) but certainly not a new face. Please congratulate our wonderful third grade teacher Ms. Galm on her marriage this summer!

On Wednesday, September 6th, from 8:00 - 8:30 am, we welcome families for a walk through of the building and individual classrooms. This visit is to alleviate any first day jitters and anxiety in hopes that you may show your child their classroom and most direct route. Please rest assured that we will have plenty of available staff to assist all students on the opening days, so this is an additional support.

Please note that our teachers and staff must be at a training at the High School by 8:45 am, so this is not a time to conference with teachers. If you have any individual concerns, please reach out to the teacher via email. Teacher contacts can be found here: CONTACT US.

We encourage every family to join the A.W. Becker PTA! There is a $5 fee to join, $4 of which supports our National PTA dues. This membership needs to be renewed EACH school year and can be done so here: https://awbecker.memberhub.com/store?limit=21&live=true
