Beebe School District
\r\nJuly 1, 2020
\r\nBeebe Parents and Community Members:
\r\nAs we plan and prepare for the upcoming school year, we want our families and community to know what the 2020-2021 school year will be like. While we do not have answers to every question at this time, we want to provide as much information as possible and continue to communicate throughout the upcoming weeks.
\r\nI have included the district’s Blended Learning Plan for you to view the various options we will have available for students next school year, along with Frequently Asked Questions. The district will offer two options next school year. The first option will be an on-site/blended approach where students come to school as usual while ensuring the safety of our students. In the event the district receives guidance we must close, students would then pivot to online learning via Google Classroom and Google Meet. The second option is a completely virtual platform that allows students to continue being a part of our district while attending school online. Students in grades K-6 will have access to Beebe School teachers who will facilitate the online classrooms. In grades 7-12, the virtual option will be through Lincoln Learning (7 & 8) or Virtual Arkansas (9-12). If you are interested in your child participating in the virtual option, we will host a mandatory parent meeting on July 7th in the Beebe Schools Auditorium. The meeting will take place from 5:30-6:00 for grades K-6 and 7:00-7:30 for grades 7-12. Social distancing, along with face masks, will be required at the meeting.
\r\nWe want you to know the safety, well-being, and the education of your child is at the forefront of our decisions at all times. We know you have a choice and we are honored you have entrusted Beebe School District with your child’s education.
\r\n\r\n\r\nIf you have any additional questions, please contact covidsupport@badger.k12.ar.us
\r\nSincerely,
\r\nDr. Chris Nail, Superintendent
