Want to get more connected? Here at B.E. we have several different list servs and subscription lists you can opt-in to for more information!

BEPTANET Google Groups Community List Serv

BEPTANET is a community list serv for B.E. families to share info and ask questions for individual classes/grades, school-wide, or extracurriculars. BEPTANET also accepts other messages, within reason. Postings that aren’t school-related should have a subject line that begins with the letters OT (for “off-topic”) so people can skip or filter them. You only need to sign up once during the duration of your time at BE.

  • To sign up, just send an email to [email protected] from the email account where you’d like to receive the mailings. Please include the name(s) of your child(ren) and your child(ren)’s teacher(s).
  • That’s it! After that you’ll get email delivered right to your computer. Once you join, simply email [email protected] to post a message to the BE community.
  • Questions? Send email to [email protected].

Special Needs List Serv

The BE Special Needs mailing list distributes information that may be of interest to BE families with special needs, with or without a 504 Plan or IEP.  The mailing list is opt-in and is managed by PTA Special Needs VP Mai Nguyen.
