🗓️ The 2024-25 Beebe School District 𝐊-𝟏𝟐 School Calendar is available now, accessible at https://bit.ly/2425bsdcalendar. Please note that our Pre-K program is currently under different state guidance and therefore may have a slightly different calendar. We will publish our Pre-K calendar as soon as possible. Grades K-12 will be utilizing an alternate calendar in 24-25, meaning state required student instructional time will be based on hours rather than days. This adjustment will result in fewer student instructional days (174 instead of 178), affording our teachers additional time for lesson preparation and student data analysis. Additionally, it permits the district to incorporate extra minutes into the daily schedule to account for potential inclement weather. The 7-12 bell schedule next year will be 𝟕:𝟓𝟎 𝐚𝐦 - 𝟑:𝟏𝟗 𝐩𝐦. K-6 start and stop times may vary slightly. Before school begins in the fall, the district will communicate plans to ensure adequate time at each school for morning drop offs via school bus and/or parent drop off. Stay tuned for more updates! #BPRD

Spring Break is almost here! Reminder, there will be NO SCHOOL next week. Enjoy your time off, Badgers! #BPRD
