FLIP YOUR SMARTPHONE HORIZONTALLY TO READ THE BEAUMONT BLAST
Since design improvements have been made to the Beaumont Blast, you may need to adjust how you view the Blast. If you are reading it on your smartphone, depending on your screen size, you can either flip your phone horizontally so the calendar fits on your screen, OR, click on the link above the e-newsletter which says View this email in your browser. Once it opens up in your browser, flip your phone horizontally in order to view the calendar on the left and the main e-newsletter simultaneously. As an alternative, please view the Blast on a tablet or computer to see its full size.

PLANNING AHEAD FOR NEXT YEAR'S PARENT SOCIAL

HOLIDAY COLLECTION FOR T&E CARE -
UNTIL DECEMBER 4, FRIDAY

Once again, the holidays are looming and some people right in our communities struggle to afford gifts for the kids or the food needed for a special holiday meal. From now until Friday, December 4, you can help your local neighbors enjoy the holidays! Almost 100 local families have requested assistance, and Beaumont is eager to lend a hand. This year, Beaumont is collecting:
• Kitchen utensils - large spoons, ladles, spatulas, tongs, whisks, measuring spoons, measuring cups
• Storage containers - plastic food storage containers, tinfoil, saran wrap, ziplock baggies of all sizes
To find out more about what you can do to help another family this holiday season, go to www.tecare.org to learn about sponsoring a family, supporting the food drive or many other opportunities.

CHANGE IN BES DIRECTORY & PARENT HANDBOOK
There has been a change in the BES Directory & Parent Handbook regarding Dismissal Plans. If a parent/guardian needs to make changes to dismissal plans for their student, we request that parents please contact the office by 2:00pm on the day of the change. Before 2:00pm gives the office staff time to discuss the change with the teacher and student and confirm any information as needed. Thank you.
 
STAFF TRIBUTES THROUGH FLITE
FLITE (Foundation for Learning in Tredyffrin/Easttown) helps students in the T/E School District by funding educational programs. If you would like to honor a Beaumont teacher or staff member who has made a difference in your child’s education, you can make a Staff Tribute, a tax-deductible donation to FLITE, in his/her name. Your chosen recipient(s) will be notified of the honor (but not the donation amount), and your donation will go toward fulfilling the foundation’s mission. For more details, view flyer or visit their website.

Hello Beaumont TerraCyclers! Keep terracycling your oral care waste and juice pouches and straws in the Cafeteria. We are collecting throughout the year. Just a couple of reminders:
