Beachland Elementary School has a long history and tradition of excellence. Our mission is to create an environment where all children can be successful. We accomplish this by providing quality instruction of the Sunshine State Standards in Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art, Media, Physical Education and Music. In addition, we strive to teach character development through the Positive Behavior Support Program (PBS) in conjunction with the “Character Counts” program which encompasses six pillars: Respect, Responsibility, Caring, Fairness, Citizenship and Trustworthiness. In addition, we offer a variety of extra-curricular activities and clubs to create well-rounded students who will be prepared for their futures. Together, with parents, volunteers and mentors, we create a “team approach” to learning. Please join us, in our efforts, by reading and adhering to the information in this folder. You will be well informed and will assist your child in learning.

 

 

Classes begin at 8:55 a.m. and conclude at 3:20 p.m. Student supervision is available beginning at 8:15 a.m. Tardiness is unacceptable. If a student arrives after 8:55 a.m., he/she is to report to the Main Office with a parent/guardian to sign in and receive a “tardy slip” prior to proceeding to the classroom. Students are expected to remain in school for the entire instructional day. Upon the request of the parent/guardian, a student may be dismissed early from school, for medical appointments, etc., however, it is expected that early dismissals would be kept to a minimum.  If you must make an appointment during the regular school day, please send a written note to your child's teacher.  If you must relay a message regarding change of pick up for dismissal, please contact Mrs. Brown at the front office (772-564-3300)  no later than 2:50 p.m.

 

 

 

 

By law (FL 232.09), it is the responsibility of parents to see that their child attends school on a daily basis. Excused absences include personal illness, death of a family member, established religious holiday, emergencies and educational or justifiable reasons approved by the principal. If a student's illness is expected to exceed three days, parents are requested to call the school's health aide at 564-3348. Students who are in attendance less than four academic hours will be counted as absent. A written excuse is expected upon the student's return to school in order for the absence to be excused. Unexcused absences include shopping trips, pleasure trips and vacations. If a pupil has accrued five unexcused absences, the principal shall notify the student's parent/guardian.

BUS RIDERS:  Bus privileges are extended to all students who live in excess of a two-mile distance from the school. Bus schedules are published in the Press Journal newspaper prior to the opening of school. Questions and concerns about bus transportation should be directed to the Transportation Department at 978-8825. Only students assigned to a bus may use the service. Parents are responsible for making transportation arrangements for after-school activities. Students are expected to follow the bus safety rules defined by the bus driver. Failure to follow bus rules may result in suspension of bus transportation privileges.

 

CAR RIDERS:  Parents must drop off and pick up their children at the designated benches as follows: K and 1st grade students and siblings at the K/1 Loop off of Mockingbird Drive. Students in grades 2-5 will be picked up at Sharks' Cove (off of Indian River Drive, E.)

 

BIKE RIDERS:  Bikers must adhere to the rules of bicycle safety at all times. Bikers may cross Mockingbird Drive and Beachland Boulevard under the direction of the crossing guard. A bike and walking trail is provided immediately north of the Mockingbird loop entrance so that no child will need to cross the entrance of the school. Bikers must proceed directly to the fenced in area (racks provided) on the northeast corner of the campus to secure bicycles. Bike locks are strongly suggested. All bike riders must wear helmets in accordance with Florida state law.

 

WALKERS:  Walkers must use the sidewalk system on the east side of campus, along Mockingbird Drive. Students coming from the north of the Mockingbird entrance shall use the fenced path. Those students coming from the south side shall use the original biker/walker entrance.
