Thank you for partnering with parents and teachers to help students realize their potential and set healthy, realistic and optimistic aspirations for themselves. School counselors are an integral part of our schools and district. Thank you for all that you do!

Beaverbrook Elementary Parents and Staff,
There was a traffic accident near Birdie Rd. and Hwy 19-41. If this intersection is blocked you can access the school by taking Manley Rd. (next road to the south) to Patterson Rd to Birdie Rd. Buses are aware. The school appears dark on the outside but we are open. Power is limited to our backup generator at this time. We have heat and interior lights. The power company anticipates that full power will be restored by 9 a.m. Thank you.
