School Connection: Beaumont Middle School

Any parents of incoming Beaumont sixth-graders, especially those coming to Beaumont on a transfer, that would like to connect over the spring and/or summer?  My soon-to-be sixth grade daughter will be starting at Beaumont in the fall, and only knows one student who will be there, who is also an incoming transfer student

Any parents of current Beaumont kids with any words of wisdom?  Feedback regarding teachers, programs, extracurriculars? 

Beaumont Middle School, 4043 NE Fremont, Portland, OR 97212  Principal, Sherie Knutson.

Thanks!

Connect: MITCH Charter School

We’re going to be a kindergarten family come fall, and would love to know if any of the uMs out there have any comments/words of wisdom about MITCH Charter School (Tigard).  The school looks good on paper, but that’s only half of the picture.  I’d really appreciate any feedback.
