Beach School highlights high assessments, SEL programming and new readathon success
Summary
The Beach School principal presented assessment data showing strong benchmark performance, described robust SEL and RTI/MTSS supports and said a new readathon raised $45,000; staff also reported a newly eliminated Schoolmates waitlist after operational changes.
The principal presenting Beach Schools "state of the school" highlighted consistently strong academic outcomes and layered supports for students. The principal said benchmark beginning-of-year scores for TK-5 grouped around the low-80s and cited a kindergarten cohort that rose from 64% meeting benchmark at the start of the year to 86% by yearend in a prior cohort after interventions.
Staff emphasized integrated SEL supports: weekly counselor-led lessons TK-5, RTI/MTSS teams, and social-communication learning groups staffed by occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists and psychologists. The presentation also noted a successful first-year readathon that raised $45,000 for library resources and an operational solution that eliminated Beachs aftercare (Schoolmates) waitlist by expanding capacity.
