Beach Park Middle School

A peek at the week! Soccer season has started.

September 4, Thursday

Every year, we host School Family Meetings. These are required for student attendance for all incoming sixth grade families and all families new to the District. The goal is to shape expectations and ensure partnership between home and school. This year, meetings are on September 4 at 9:00 am, 3:00 pm, or 5:30 pm. Please make arrangements to attend. Translation will be available for our Spanish speaking families.

September 8, Monday

With the help of Jared Scott from Culture Shift, we have established a Student IMPACT Team here at Beach Park Middle School. Our first Family Night will be on September 8 at 5:00. The team of 20 students will present to the community all the work they have done to establish a movement here at BPMS. Your support is appreciated! See the attached flyer.

It's time for BPMS FRI-YAYS! ☀️During lunch hours, students have been able to eat outside in the courtyard on the tables that were built by our community! 💫 BPMS staff is all smiles, happy to welcome students and see their colleagues again! 🎉 ZERO office referrals or major behaviors in week 1! Our learners were engaged, showing kindness towards others and accepted feedback! 👩🏻‍🏫Teachers across grade levels offered connection building activities like writing letters to their future selves, name tag drawing, two truths & a lie, get to know you surveys and more! #IgniteCoreMemories #ConsistencyisKey #BPMSEagles #Backtoschool

First day of school✅ Love is limits! Consistency is key & learning (even on the first day) is not optional at BPMS! The halls were buzzing with ALL OF THE FEELINGS today from staff and students! Families, we would love to see your first day pictures! #welcomeback #IgniteCoreMemories

🦅 Fri-YAYs for BPMS this week include: 👩‍🏫 staff on the IMPACT team gathered this week to prepare connection activities for students in the first weeks of school. The goal? To make sure that ALL students feel seen, valued and understood. Learning tasks created space to discuss how unique every child is who comes to us and in order to foster a sense of belonging, our job is to meet every child where they are! 👷🏽‍♀️students from NJHS came together to build picnic tables for our courtyard! The second phase of this project will include sanding & painting with alumni at ZBTHS who are in NHS now. We can't wait for our school family to enjoy their hard work! Special thanks to Ms. Heard, Mr. Jantzen & our band families who jumped in to help build! 🧠 the Admin team spent time reflecting on strengths in leadership style and finding their "working genius!" Are you curious to see how students and staff will benefit? Stay tuned all year long! We love middle school! Next week... STUDENTS & STAFF are back! #Sparkcuriosity #ignitecorememories #BPMS #LoveisLimits #ConsistencyisKey #LearningisNotOptional

😎A few Fri-YAYs to close out this week: 🤝Mrs. Meek led our new hires through a Brain Smart Start where each person identified their personal strength and acknowledged a strength they see in a peer by tossing a ball of yarn. We are all connected, belong here as a team and add value to BPMS as a whole! 🦅 🙋🏼🙋🏽🙋🏻🙋🏾Mateo, Caiden, Tristan, Ben, & Emiliano gave their time over the last two weeks as 8th grade leaders. From hanging paper on the new bulletin boards, moving materials to painting the first rocks for our community rock garden! We love to see how our students take the lead! 🍎 Immersion Coordinators & Instructional Coaches led our new staff through reflection activities tied to the marigold effect, Calm Classroom and Kagan structures. All of these tools will help our newest Eagles create nurturing learning environments for all students! #BPMSEagles #NewTeacherInduction #Immersion #Onboarding #BacktoSchool #StudentLeaders #kagan #calmclassroom #SparkCuriosity #IgniteCoreMemories
