Hello, Beaufort Elementary families — this is Mrs. Wilkie, Assistant Principal, calling to welcome you to another great week at Beaufort Elementary, where we are Sailing Toward Success!
First, we would like to spotlight our amazing students and staff. This week, students are reviewing character strengths through the Positivity Project. Ask your child which strengths they have noticed in themselves or their classmates. These conversations help us build a strong, kind, and empathetic school community.
We are also proud to celebrate our Seadog Students of the Week:
Sydney Tate, for welcoming a new classmate and helping her try new things
Everett Fockler, for showing integrity by picking up trash on the playground
Carter Dayhaw, for being a great listener
Max Cash, for always helping others
Vincent Murray, for encouraging his team to complete a challenge
Gabriel Davis, for stopping to help a younger student who fell in the hallway
Way to go, Seadogs — we are proud of you!
We are excited to announce that one of our favorite traditions is returning — One School, One Book! Our official kick-off will be Tuesday. This program creates a shared reading experience across our entire school community, and we encourage families to set aside time each evening to read together. Be sure to check your child’s folder and our social media pages Tuesday for the big surprise — you won’t want to miss it!
Here are a few important upcoming dates:
March 16: Teacher Workday — No School for Students
March 17: One School, One Book Kick-Off
March 18: Spring Class Pictures
March 19: Third Grade field trip to The Little Mermaid Jr.
March 20: First Grade field trip to the Aquarium
March 20: PE Dance from 3:15 to 5:00 PM for grades 3 through 5
Thank you for being part of our Beaufort Elementary family. We look forward to another week of learning, growing, and sailing toward success together. Have a wonderful evening.

We can't wait to share this morning of celebration, reflection, and inspiration with our community! 🌟 #BlackHistoryMonth #InspiringTheFuture
Young Waterfowlers' Day #wearyourcamo
We hope y'all are staying warm and having fun. Check out these cool images taken by a parent. Can you beleive all this snow?
I would like to provide some direction for the Remote Learning Days on Tuesday, February 3rd, and Wednesday, February 4th.
On the morning of each remote learning day, your student’s teacher will post a Google Form attendance link on their ClassDojo ClassStory and/or Google Classroom. Please ensure you respond to this link each day so that your student is counted as present for our remote learning sessions.
Remote work was assigned and sent home with students this past Friday. Students should complete a small set of assignments each day to stay on track at a pace that keeps the workload manageable. Should you have any questions about assignments or need support from your student’s teacher or another staff member, we will all be available through ClassDojo and email.
Additionally, keep an eye on our SchoolStory in ClassDojo and or Google Classroom each day for optional activities provided by our Specials teachers.
If there are any other impacts to our schedule this week, follow-up information will be provided.
I hope all of our families are continuing to enjoy this snow day and are staying warm. We are here to support you, so please reach out to any of our staff during these next couple of days if you have any needs.
Take care, and we look forward to seeing our BES Seadogs very soon!
At Beaufort Elementary, we believe in a true team approach to meeting every student's unique needs. If you thrive in a collaborative environment and are committed to creating foundational success for our youngest learners, we want to hear from you!
