LB Mission Long Beach Elementary School is a Safe, respectful and inviting place Where we set high standards and celebrate our achievements, Where learning is challenging and engaging, and Where we prepare students to lead successful lives as stewards of their world.

Color Card Chart Each teacher at Long Beach Elementary School will use a color card system for positive behavior management. Teachers will keep track of “cards pulled” by students and this can be used as a tool by the teacher and parent for creating positive behavior change when necessary. Each Monday their will be a note in your child’s Monday Folder informing you of cards pulled for the previous week.

Walk To Read Your child is placed in a reading group based on their current level of reading. They are either in Ms. Hall, Mrs. Kitzman, Mrs. Anderson, or Mrs. Clarke’s class. The reading curriculum in each group is research and standards based. Reading class is 1 hour, 5 days a week. READING LOG: Your child should be reading a minimum of 20 minutes every night!!
