Open House/Curriculum Night

We are off to a great start in both our in-person instruction and our Virtual Academy. Through your continued partnership, our students were quickly engaged in their learning and our Beck teachers are making important connections with their new students.

Our annual Open House is an important way that we can keep positive energy moving forward. The Open House allows our teachers and parents to address course expectations for students and to establish avenues for communicating during this school year. Please plan on taking part in Beck’s Open House on Wednesday, September 29.

Please note for elementary Virtual Academy families – you will also be attending an open house for the virtual academy that will be held as well on Wednesday, September 29th. You will be receiving additional information regarding meeting your child’s teacher from the program administrator, Dr. Blum.

This year, our Open House will be held virtually using a Teams format. Holding a virtual open house is consistent with health and safety protocols to limit large gatherings inside our school. Within the next couple of days, we will be sharing additional information with you regarding how to access this direct link with your child’s teacher(s).

The home-school partnership is an integral part of our school’s success. We look forward to meeting with you to provide updates on our school, hear directly from your child’s teacher(s), and continue the conversations on how we continue to work together for the success of all of our students.

Mrs. Christine Wilson
Principal

The mission of Beck Centennial Elementary is to provide a respectful environment that enables children to communicate effectively, forge connections, and create opportunities for success within the global community.
