Beaverton Elementary School -

94.5 The Moose: Who's Your Favorite Teacher. One of our own favorites, Mrs. Werth, has been nominated! Let's get these votes coming in!! Reason for Nomination As a Kindergarten teacher, Mrs Werth, has the patience of a saint!! She is a teacher who’s heart and dedication to the students goes beyond the classroom. You can find her at special events to celebrate her students in their extra curricular activities; showing up at dance recitals and games (when COVID regulations doesn't restrict this). She makes learning fun for the kids and is amazing at building on the strengths of her students while developing their independence. She knows the importance of getting families involved in growing well-rounded students and understanding the mental health needs in challenging times.

Meet our Highlight Staff of the Week: Mrs. Rise, 5th Grade Teacher at Beaverton Elementary! Ever since she was a young 4th grade student she knew that she wanted to be a math teacher and has successfully taught for 25 wonderful years. Her students have stated that: "She is always willing and ready to help anyone and she always has a positive attitude. She is cheerful, kind to others, and lets them watch movies at lunch. " A favorite memory of one of her students was "at the end of third grade she gave us all a hug and said good luck". It is without a doubt that Mrs. Rise is truly one of many blessings to our district. She is a great teacher! A special thank you to Mrs. Rise for her continual dedication to our district, her love for teaching, and the relationships that she fosters with her students!

“Some old-fashioned things like fresh air and sunshine are hard to beat” (Laura Ingalls Wilder). When experiencing internet issues while learning, and we have a beautiful day, our teachers take learning outside! Some of our students had such a great time with their science lesson being delivered outside that they asked their teacher to take lunch back to their favorite spot. Of course they did and she joined them!

Beaverton Elementary Families we are asking that you complete the survey using the link below to help us in planning for our second semester of school. For each enrolled student, you will need to state whether you would like face to face programming (in school every day) or our virtual learning platform (through Educere). Please complete this by November 20th, 2020. If you have any questions, please contact the Elementary office. Thank you! https://forms.gle/JRXgPi4atpFQj2Zr5
