Letter from the Principal
October 15, 2009
Dear Parents and Students:
Greetings!!! Only four more weeks until the end of the first trimester of the school year! Please continue having your child read and complete all homework assignments nightly. By having this nightly routine in place with your child, it will definitely enhance your child’s progress and success this school year.
Nightly Homework
Students at all grade levels are responsible for completing homework nightly. Please check with your child and ensure that he/she completes and turns in all homework assignments for the following day. Sending your child with completed homework assignments will enable your child to achieve greater academic success!

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, October 22 and Tuesday, October 26 from 4:00 – 8:00 p. m. at Beach Court. Your child’s teacher sent a note home on Friday, October 2 for you to select your preferred date(s) and time(s) for the conference. Please make sure you have already returned and signed this note to your child’s teacher to secure a conference time. During the conference, your child’s teacher will discuss your child’s progress in all content areas along with strategies for you to use at home for improving student learning. Progress Reports (Report Cards) will be sent home with students on Friday, November 20.
Fall Festival
On Friday, October 23, we will be having Fall Festival celebrations in the classrooms from 2:45 – 3:30 p. m.. Students are not to wear Halloween costumes during these celebrations.
Students will learn about various customs and celebrations around the world. Parents are welcome to attend these exciting and fun Fall Festival celebrations with your child.
Million Word Recognition Assembly
As you may know, Beach Court students are on the way to reaching their goal of reading 250, 000 words for the first nine weeks ending on Friday, October 23. Please make sure your child is reading nightly and that you are signing and returning the reading log daily. If students are not turning in the signed reading log, then students will not be counted as reading towards the goal of reading 250, 000 words for the first quarter. Students will be recognized for reading 250, 000 words during scheduled assemblies on Thursday, November 5 in the Beach Court Auditorium. Help your child make that happen! J
