Beebe School District

Unfortunately, our phone lines are still down this morning. This is out of our control as the problem is on AT&T's end. We hope they will be back up sometime today but have not been given a specific timeline. We apologize for this inconvenience! If you need to contact someone at the school, please reach out via email or come by the school office in person. We will send out an update as soon as they are back up. Thank you for your understanding!

Traffic Update: There has been a wreck on Center St. in front of the entrance to our main campus. The wreck is not related to the school district or its personnel; however, traffic may be slower today due to emergency vehicles on site. Thank you for your understanding.

🎉 Exciting News! Our school district has been awarded a grant to expand our school-based health center, bringing even more services to our students and community. 🏥✨ We want to give the center a unique name that reflects our Badger community. If you would like to help name the center, cast your vote by 3:00 pm this Thursday, August 24th at the following link - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCyUi8iOyMYmfjL9ZyaE5Yn1s6c7SpeUqKPwdBLcvm5FsKqg/viewform. Have your say in shaping the future of health services in our district. Let's make a difference together! 🐾🌟 #BPRD

Welcome to Week 2! Check out our Week at a Glance for a quick overview of what is on the schedule this week. https://bit.ly/82123wag #BPRD

Parents of Beebe Schools students, As we embark on a new school year, we are excited to celebrate our students' achievements and share their successes through our media outlets! However, we understand that privacy preferences vary, and we want to respect yours. If you do NOT want your child's name or picture published on our school media outlets, please fill out the attached form - https://bit.ly/donotpublish23. This will ensure that your student is not published on any school-related media sources. Again, please only submit the form if you do NOT want your student's name or picture published. If you approve of your student being published, you do not need to take any action at this time. Thank you for being a part of our school community!
