If you have a student returning from RLA to in-school instruction, and live 2 or more miles walking distance from school, please register for the bus on the Transportation page of the Beverly Schools website. Choose the "Regular education application." 

The deadline for registering is Tuesday March 30th in order to take the bus on April 12th. If you have any questions, please call us at 978-921-6109.

Puberty Information

Most students in 6th grade had staff members visit their class this week to talk about information relating to puberty. As part of a menstrual equity grant from the Beverly Education Foundation, you should know that there are period supplies in the bathrooms used by students who may be menstruating, and there is also a website with lots more information at periods.beverlyschools.org. You may find this helpful in finding lists of recent books or videos and other useful information about periods, period products, and period equity. These can be great to share with your child.

Today's Student Announcements

 See the video of today's BMS Student Announcements - Thursday, March 25

Kids & Bike Safety

There have been some recent concerns in the community about children and bicycle safety. The School Resource Officers are out and about every day after school speaking to kids and handing out helmets to those who need them. They are also actively working with the Beverly Public Schools and the Beverly Bike Committee on educational and incentive-based programs for kids. 

Parents, please talk with your children about bike safety if they are riding a bike to and from school or around the city, and stress the importance of helmets, which are required by state law for anyone 16 and under.

If you need help getting a helmet for your child, please contact BMS School Resource Officer Mezza (tmezza@beverlyma.gov) for hlep.

A final note: if you see kids riding bikes in and out of traffic, playing chicken with vehicles, or engaging in other unsafe behaviors in traffic please call the Beverly Police non-emergency line at 978-922-1212 and report it rather than posting to social media. Please do not try to take a video or picture while you are driving. (Children who are just riding in the roadway, who are operating their bike in a safe manner and following traffic laws are not violating the law and should not be reported.)

If you do wish to submit a picture, please safely pull over first, then submit a “Juvenile Complaint” tip through our MyPD smartphone app (http://mypdapp.com/).

Reminder from Nurses About Medication

With the upcoming change in schedule, please remember that if your child requires medication to be administered during the school day, please make sure to have a parental permission form filled out to administer medication. 

Doctor's orders can be faxed to the health office at 978-529-2170 or emailed to kguinivan@beverlyschools.org

Please remember to bring your students medication in a prescription bottle from the pharmacy.

We appreciate your help!!!
