Hello Beck Families!

I wanted to update parents on the days for School Pictures next week.  We have arranged for Kaiser Studios to be at Beck for two (whole) days - to catch both a.m. and p.m. students each of the days.  Those days are now Monday, Feb. 1  and  Friday, Feb. 5. 

 

We will have two sites set up within the building – one for ONLY lower elementary K-3, and one for ONLY upper, 4-6.  We anticipate that we will be able to get through the grade levels that are present, but are not completely sure as we will have to socially distance and clean between students.  Students will wear masks during their short time out of their classrooms, but will be able to take them off for the photos!  :) 

 

Room 13             Grades K-3                        3rd grade, 1st grade, K, 2nd grade

Room 22             Grades 4-6                        5th grade, 4th grade, 6th grade

 

We will have the photographers here all day on both days.  So, our fall-back plan is in the event a student is absent, perhaps they’ll catch the second day.  If we don’t get to all the students on the first day, we will get to them on the 2nd day.

Order forms went home with a.m. students already.

You can also order online at:  www.kaiserstudio.com and use our school code:  2020BECK

Sincerely,

Christine Wilson
