In the Face of Tragedy
Minimize

The Board of Education, staff and students of the Omaha Public Schools extend sincere condolences to the families affected by the tragedy that occurred at the Boston Marathon yesterday afternoon.  Though it took place hundreds of miles from Omaha, events such as these are far-reaching, and the entire country is impacted.

After seeing news coverage or hearing details of the events in Boston, many children and teens will have questions and concerns.  Parents, guardians and educators can visit the following links to find information from the National Association of School Psychologists on how to talk to children about their fears.

As always, the Omaha Public Schools will have guidance counselors and psychologists available to talk to students during the school day whenever necessary. Please feel free to visit the Post-Crisis Response section of the OPS School Safety website for additional resources.

Dismissal Safety
Minimize

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 have 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 who 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.

Welcome to Beals!
Minimize

Beals Elementary school is located in south-central Omaha. The school ground covers 4.5 acres and is bound by Center Street, 48th Street, 49th Street, and a passageway south of Hickory Street.

 

Beals consists of pre-kindergarten through sixth grade and serves approximately 460 students. There is one pre-kindergarten session that serves early childhood special needs students and general education students in one classroom. There are two kindergarten, and first and second grade classrooms. We are also excited that we now serve a select group of students in a 1/2 multi-grade classroom. Beals also has three third grade classrooms, three fourth, and two fifth and sixth grade classrooms. Our kindergarten classes are all day. We are very excited to share that we are finding great success at meeting ALL students’ need through the inclusion model. Teachers co-teach and work together to meet the individual needs of students. Individual plans of success are created, so that we make certain that we are meeting the social and instructional needs of our students.

 

We have been extremely successful in creating a safe and secure learning environment where all staff and students take ownership in their school. Our Parent Teachers Association is one of the strongest in the area, offering numerous activities and opportunities to our students. Our staff is involved within the community and take a vested interest in making sure Beals is the best it can possibly be!

 

We would not be successful without our supportive "Bobcat" Parents. Thanks and please always feel free to contact Beals if we can better serve you or your student(s)!                           -Dr. York
