A to Z Parent Handbook
We have adjusted several of our operational procedures to strengthen safety and communication at our campus. In this handbook you will see new procedures covering the following:
1. Arrival
2. Dismissal
3. Lunch Procedures
4. Communication
5. Tardies and Absences
6. Technology Integration
7. Visitors
Please carefully read over all of the procedures as some have changed from previous years. These will begin the first day of school and we need your help to make this school year a great success! Thank you for your support!
Absences and tardies
If your child is absent, please send a note to the office the day the student returns to school. Notes can be given to the teacher or the office. Students arriving at or after 8:10 a.m. are given a partial absence for the day. Students who leave before 10:00 a.m. are given an absence for the day. Students must be signed out in the office.
Arrival and dismissal
Please drop off and pick up your child at the front of the school. At the beginning of the year, each student who is picked up by a parent is given a sign with the child's name on it so that we may call the student from the cafeteria. For safety and security reasons, please do not arrange to meet your child anywhere other than the front of the school. This is where staff will be on duty and can best supervise your child. Buses and daycare vans pick up from the gym at the side of the school.
Dress code
Beaver MST follows the regular district dress code (we do not have standardized dress uniforms). Students should not wear flip-flops, and shorts/skirts should be fingertip length. Shirts should have straps of at least 3-fingers width. Students also need to wear sneakers on the days they attend PE. Please put your child's name on coats, sweaters, backpacks and lunchboxes.
Online Student Services requests
Do you need to enroll your child, request a transfer, withdraw or request a transcript? It's easy to start common processes at home. Visit the Online Student Services page to get started.
If you have additional questions, please contact the campus data clerk:
