As your elementary school principal, I am thrilled to begin this journey alongside you as we work together to create a nurturing, inclusive, and empowering learning environment for every Beattie Bighorn.
At Beattie Elementary, co-teaching is at the heart of what we do. Our classrooms are intentionally designed for collaboration, with teaching teams working together to model respectful relationships, responsive instruction, and shared ownership of student growth. This approach ensures that every child benefits from multiple educators supporting their learning and development each day.
One of our key priorities this year is building strong, transparent communication with families. We recognize the importance of keeping you informed and connected to the life of the school. To support this, we’ve launched the summer edition of our newsletter—your first stop for news, events, and updates. We encourage you to review it and stay engaged with us throughout the year.
We also ask that you verify and update your contact information in ParentVUE to ensure we can reach you when needed. Accurate information allows us to maintain timely and effective communication between school and home.
Our commitment extends far beyond sharing information—we’re here to walk alongside you and your child every step of the way. If you have questions, ideas, or feedback, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your voice matters, and your partnership strengthens our entire school community.
We’re looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming students and families back into the building. When our co-taught classrooms are alive with student voices, wonder, and connection, that’s when Beattie shines brightest.
Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. With your continued support and collaboration, we know this year will be filled with meaningful learning, growth, and unforgettable moments. Let’s climb higher together.
Warmly,
Mr. Whicker & the Beattie Staff
