Beals Elementary has a rich history of educating students for over 100 years.  The original building was constructed in 1900, but a fire destroyed it in 1903.  The new building was constructed in 1904 and still stands.  A new addition was added in 1912.   The renovation of Beals was completed in 2003, due to a school bond issue.  Beals was named after Samuel DeWitt Beals, who was Superintendent of Schools from 1874 to 1880.  The school ground covers 4.5 acres and is bound by Center Street, 48th Street, 49th Street and a passageway south of Hickory Street.

We need your help! For the safety of your student and all Beals students, there has been a change to the dismissal from the teardrop on 48th Street (upper Parking lot)! The city has come to observe the dismissal and is in agreement that Beals has an extremely difficult dismissal pattern. Our students on Safety Patrol and the crosswalk for parents and students has been moved to 48th and Center due to having a city light to cross parents and students. Because of this, I am requesting three things that will assist with a safe and timely dismissal of students:
1. SLOW DOWN and be PATIENT.
2. Any parents that are willing to volunteer and assist with dismissal through visibility, please give our security officer, Mr. Story a call at Beals-554-8570
3. All parents pull all the way around the circle and stay in their car and staff will assist by loading students in the car.
