The students have spoken, and they chose "Beverly's Got Talent" as the name of our Virtual Fall Fundraiser this year! Each student has the opportunity to upload a video of their talent/skill to their private fundraiser page, and friends and family can donate in support of the student and the school.
Do they dance? Awesome! Bake? Great! Teach the dog cool tricks? Amazing! Serve those in need? Yes! Anything can be a talent and make your child special!
Our goal is $15,000 raised to pay for online learning programs, teacher support, and other important programs! That breaks down to about $50 per student. You will receive information to register when the site goes live on October 4.
Check out our new spirit items! We have new shirts (youth and adult $10), vinyl stickers ($5) and yard signs ($20) on sale. These new items are PRE-ORDER only so make sure to place your order before October 2!

Popsicle Driveby THIS Friday 6:30-7:30 p.m.
Click to play the Bobcat Song while you drive through!
Join us for a Popsicle Drive By!
*****REVISED ROUTE*****
***REVISED ROUTE** (note that this does NOT take place at Beverly Elementary):
ROUTE: Enter Duchess Drive from Hedgcoxe. Turn left on Palace Way. Continue on Palace Way and around the cul-de-sac where Palace Way and Needham Drive intersect. After receiving your popsicle (and any orders to pick up), continue out through Needham. You may 1) turn left onto Castleford or 2) continue on Needham Dr. and enter the new neighborhood, turn right on Rolex, and then exit onto Hedgcoxe. Route will also be marked with signs. Please do not turn right onto Duchess in order to exit onto Hedgcoxe. This will help with congestion.
OTHER EVENT DETAILS (INCLUDING PRIZES!)
We want to celebrate the hard work that students, parents, and teachers did in the first two weeks of school by treating you to a popsicle! All popsicles will be given to you unopened, to eat when you choose.
1. Decorate a Beverly sign or grade-level sign to show us as you drive by and get a cool key chain!

1. Update your ParentPortal!
This is the the system where you enter in your child's emergency contact and health information and sign other forms. Beverly needs us to all log in and update this so that they have your current email address and phone number. This is how they will be able to contact you to give further information. https://www.pisd.edu/parentportalhelp
2. Read Beverly and Beverly PTA emails!
Beverly emails will come from Diane Barnett, the office manager, or Cindy Savant, our principal. Yesterday Ms. Barnett sent an email with lots of good information. Again, you won't be getting these if your ParentPortal info is out of date.
PTA emails will communicate info about purchasing kindergarten school supplies, spirit wear, and upcoming events. They will be clearly labeled that they are from Beverly PTA.
Please create a free account at www.beverlypta.com to be able to order materials and to receive these informational emails. And don't forget to join PTA! Not only will you provide monetary support to help us pay for curriculum and other necessities, but you will have access to the PTA directory (so you can contact your children's friends' parents, etc.).
3. Listen to phone calls from the school!
Our principal, Ms. Savant, recorded a call yesterday that went out to everyone whose info is updated on ParentPortal. (Details from the phone call and the email are in the comments of the pinned post on the Beverly PTA Facebook page.)
4. Read emails from Plano ISD!
PISD is continually updating general guidelines for schools returning (these emails will not have individual school information like assigned teachers and individual school protocols, but reading the info will help give you a general idea of the structure of school this year). You can view this information and more at www.pisd.edu.

The yearbooks are delivered to us and will be ready for picked up! Due to this unprecedented situation, our yearbook production company was a bit delayed in delivering our yearbooks, so it didn't make it on time for those grade levels who already picked up their student belongings on Tuesday and Wednesday. For 4th graders and 5th graders who ordered, they will be receiving the yearbooks along with their other belongings when they pickup today. For other grade levels (K-3rd), we will have the yearbook ready to pick up TOMORROW, Friday May 22, 9-11am, at the Beverly front driveway. Please be ready to have a sign with your student's name. Due to time constraint, unfortunately K-3rd students who purchased yearbooks but have siblings in 4th and 5th will have to come back to get their copy on this day. We apologize if this delay has caused multiple pickup trips for you. We will also have limited number of extras ($40) for those who did not order but want to purchase. Please bring cash (exact change) or check written out to Beverly Elementary PTA. If you have any question, please feel free to reach out to communications@beverlypta.com
