The school provides access to Study Island for all our students in mathematics. Study Island is web-based software designed by grade level for practice and intervention on topics covered in the classroom and also tested by the state of Ohio. You can access Study Island at: StudyIsland.com. Every Beaver Local Middle School student has a login

Attention 6^th Grade Parents

The Ohio Department of Health recently revised the immunization requirements for students entering the seventh grade. You are required to show written proof of receiving a Tetnus/Pertussis booster (Tdap or Td booster) prior to entering the 7^th grade. Please contact your health care provider or Columbiana County Health Department (330-424-0272) to schedule this vaccine. Exemption to the new requirement can be obtained based on religious, philosophical, or medical reasons. A parent or legal guardian must make a request in writing to obtain an exemption. All students must have this shot or file the exemption before entering the 7^th grade. According to the Ohio Revised Code, after the first two weeks of school, any student who has not provided this proof will not be permitted in school until they do so.

Parent Progress Book

https://parentaccess.access-k12.org

As many of you are aware, we offer a web-based program which enables parents to view their child’s grades from home. We have sent information home with the students which provides details of this process including your personalized login and password. We have also provided accounts to our 7^th and 8^th grade students so they can monitor their own progress. Please call the school if you have any difficulties accessing or using this site. We will also be available during parent teacher conferences to provide parents with assistance using this service.
