Mrs. Beal's Classroom

Hello parents!

If your student is interested in Student Council next year, we will be having a mandatory parent meeting this Thursday, March 26th at 3:30pm in Ms Light’s class in Room 303, in the Q2 building. If you’re unable to make this meeting, but are still interested, you are welcome to email Ms. Light, and we can get you all the information you need! Her email is elight@questac.org.

To apply, students will need to have a 3.5 GPA, satisfactory or honorary citizenship, and regular attendance.

The application will be posted to the Jr. High Google Classroom for current Jr. High students to fill out after the parent meeting. For current 5th grade students, the application will be sent out via parent email after the parent meeting.

If you have any additional questions, please email Ms. Light at elight@questac.org.

Also, we are on our last box of tissues if anyone would be willing to donate some. Thank you for all you do!

Mrs. Beal

What an amazing achievement! 200 iReady lessons completed since January—that’s incredible dedication from your students! They absolutely deserve this celebration!

Students can bring one cozy item, such as a blanket, pillow, stuffed animal, or hoodie, to make the 30-minute show extra comfortable.
For snacks, stick with easy-to-clean options like individual chip bags, wrapped candy, small cereal boxes, granola bars, fruit snacks, popcorn bags, pretzel bags, or mini muffins. These are all individually wrapped or bagged, so they won’t make a mess during the show and clean up quickly if spilled.

Remember, tomorrow is Dollar Dress down!

Dear Parents/Guardian:

As part of your child’s education, he/she will be invited, along with the parents/guardians, to participate in a maturation program of instruction, which includes Health Core Standards outlined by the Utah State Office of Education. Maturation will be held on Friday, March 13th in the Q1 gym. Girls will attend at 8:35 am, and boys will be at 9:25 am. Parents/guardians/trusted adults are invited and encouraged to attend. 

Maturation Form

Please read the form carefully, select one option, and electronically sign to give your permission for your student to participate. Your student will not be allowed to participate without this completed form.

Mrs. Beal

Parents,

Our class has won a party for finishing 200 iReady lessons! We will be having an electronic day tomorrow, February 13th. Students can bring an electronic device from home to use ONLY during the party. Students will also be allowed to access their Chromebooks if parents do not wish to send an electronic device. As always, I will have an arts and crafts project for students as a secondary option.

Ms. Beal

Please sign up for a time slot that works best for you. If there are any conflicts, feel free to reach out to me!

Mrs. Beal

Good evening,

I hope you’re enjoying the Super Bowl! I also hope your students were able to see the string instruments behind Coco Jones — we learned a lot on our last field trip to the orchestra.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. On Friday, our class of 27 students will have a Valentine exchange. If your child brings Valentine’s Day cards to share, please leave the “To” line blank and only fill in the “From” line — this makes passing them out much easier.

Students may bring their own collection bag or box. If they don’t bring one from home, I will provide a lunch sack they can decorate and use to collect valentines.

Planned classroom activities:

• Watch a short video
• Enjoy a small snack (sucker and Smarties)
• Make a spring craft

Please complete the form below to give permission for your student to receive valentines. Note: The school will also be selling Valentine Friend‑Grams before school.

I’m looking forward to another great week. Parent–teacher conference signups will be available early this week — watch for that message.

Mrs. Beal
