Welcome to Beach PK – 8 School web page.
Beach is a dual immersion and a community based school – which means that some students who attend Beach are in the Dual Immersion program (Spanish/English) while others are in the community (non-immersion) program. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to explore and learn about Beach School. We are fortunate to have a very diverse school, with excellent family support and a strong, collaborative teaching staff. Another strong characteristic of the school is its technology – there are 2 computer labs, computers in every classroom and Smart Boards in most classrooms. We are looking forward to a great school year and invite you to learn more about our school. If you have questions, please contact the school office at 503-916-6236.

I am thrilled to be back at Beach School for my 16th year and first full year in the role of Assistant Principal. It has been a pleasure working with Mr. Tom Breuckman, our new Principal. I have seen a lot of positive changes at Beach since 1994; most notably the strengthening of the dual immersion program, increase in parent involvement and extensive use of technology.
If you are new to the Beach community, or if our paths have not yet crossed, I invite you to come by anytime. My office is in Room 112 on the main floor. I also welcome any questions you may have regarding curriculum, scheduling, testing, assessment, and school history.
Here's to a terrific new school year!
Sincerely,
Kris Meyer
Assistant Principal
