Hello Beverly Cleary families,
Happy first week of school! We are so excited to embark on this year of community renewal and reinvigoration with you. We are Karlyn Clark and Jennifer O’Leary (parents of 5th and 2nd graders) and are co-chairing the PTA together this year. We hope you will reach out to us with any questions, concerns or ideas. We’d love to hear what’s on your mind.
If you are looking for information or ways to get involved, you can find it all right here on this website, known as the BCS Parent Portal.
Here you’ll find our community directory (login to view) our calendar of events, current volunteer opportunities and all kinds of other info about PTA programs and ways you can support our school.
Our email is president@beverlyclearyschool.org, or find us for a chat at drop off/pick up, made easier since we are all at the same campus. Hooray!
Karlyn Clark (Ellis in Best, Zinnia in Barry)
Jennifer O’Leary (Cecilia in Barry)

Thank You Community Cares Volunteers!
Thank you to Wendy Schmidt, Janwyn Toy-Blazer, Marina Hyacinth and a host of other BCS families and friends who worked to beautify our campus this past weekend. They pulled weeds, trimmed hedges, laid mulch and got the garden student-ready for the coming year. If you’d like to help keep BCS beautiful, sign up for one of the upcoming garden work parties.
