Mustang Families:

Our building air conditioning is currently down, and classrooms will be warmer than normal over the next few days. We are working to provide fans in classrooms and hallways to help keep air moving. Please dress your student in light, comfortable clothing to help them stay cool during the school day.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to the office. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility as we work through this situation together.

**Beadle Families**

We had a great first day of school! 🎉 Even though it was hot outside, students stayed cool and comfortable inside while learning, making friends, and getting back into routines.

A quick reminder about our school security procedures:
🔹 Parents/visitors are not allowed back into classroom areas once inside the building.
🔹 If you need to connect with your child’s teacher, please use email or ClassDojo messaging.
🔹 All visitors, including parents, must check in at the main office every time you come into the building.

Thank you for helping us keep Beadle safe and running smoothly for all students. 💙

General Beadle Families:
We wanted to share that our school will continue with a normal school day on Tuesday and Wednesday. Since our building is fully air-conditioned, students will remain comfortable and safe during the day.

We strongly encourage students to attend and stay for the entire day. Regular attendance is an important part of building strong habits and starting the school year off on the right foot. Every day of learning makes a difference!

Thank you for your support in helping your child get off to a strong start.
