Dear Beagle Middle School Families,
Here are some updates that we wanted to share with you at this time:
April 9th–Thank You!: We thank both our 7th and 8th grade families for their support and flexibility with the PSAT testing on April 9th. Our 8th graders did an outstanding job testing, and our overall attendance was the highest it’s ever been, and our 7th graders did an equally impressive job coming to school mid-day and attending classes. Again, thank you for your support with this required assessment and the logistics that go with it.
8th Grade Washington DC Trip, Family Member Meeting: There will be an informational family member meeting for DC trip attendees on Wednesday, April 16th at 6 PM in the Beagle Cafeteria. It is highly recommended that family members attend this meeting if their student is attending this trip to ensure a positive experience.
Beagle Middle Talent Show: On April 23rd the Comet Council will be hosting the Beagle Talent Show. The show starts at 6pm in the high school auditorium. Come support our talented students!
PTO Sponsored Dance: On Friday, April 25th the PTO is sponsoring the Red Carpet Spectacular for all 7th and 8th grade students. This dance is from 6-8pm at Beagle Middle School. This dance is an opportunity for students to dress up more than the after school dances, however, that is not a requirement. A sign-up genius link is below as we need all the help we can to make this dance a success for our students.

Beagle STEAM Showcase: Save the date for the 3rd annual Beagle STEAM Showcase. This year’s event will be held on Thursday, May 8th from 6-8pm. Each year the 2nd floor of Beagle Middle School is transformed into a different place and time with a TOP SECRET theme. The theme will be revealed as the doors open at 6pm. Shove It Pizza Truck and A&W will be here to celebrate the Arts & STEM programs. Stick around at 7:30 for a special concert from the band 11 Across, made up entirely of Beagle Middle School students. Bring your friends and families as this is a community event open to all. You won’t want to miss this one night only event!
Volunteers Needed for the STEAM Showcase: Volunteers for this event are always needed! Any help with the show set-up, display monitors and take down would be appreciated. Click on the Sign-Up-Genius link below to help out.

PTO Sponsored “Go Fund Me” for Student Battling Cancer: The Hayes/Beagle PTO is sponsoring a “Go Fund Me” page for Noah Sible, current 7th grader at Beagle, who was recently diagnosed with brain cancer. We thank families in advance for considering helping this family in their time of need. We also thank our PTO for organizing this initiative. Here is the link: https://tinyurl.com/3v2e97k7
PTO Meeting: The Hayes/Beagle PTO is making things happen for our students, and we’d love for you to be part of it! There’s no cost to join—just an opportunity to connect, stay informed, and support the programs and events that make our schools great.
Want a say in how fundraising dollars support students? Looking for a fun way to give back? We need volunteers for dances, field trips, teacher appreciation, and more—whether you have an hour or a whole afternoon, every bit helps! Join us and see how you can make a difference
