Overview

Mission

To foster, promote, and support educational opportunities for the William Beye Elementary School community, ensure all students, teachers, staff, and families have access to all necessary resources to meet those opportunities, and to celebrate the diversity and promote inclusiveness within the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Supplemental School Support Program - Providing grants for projects, activities, and materials in the classroom and/or William Beye Elementary School that contribute to an improved learning environment, which are currently outside of the budget provided by Oak Park Elementary School District 97. These programs serve all 350+ elementary grade students at William Beye School and the 50+ teachers, staff, and administrators there. Through this program Beye School P T O has enabled the school to provide subscriptions to educational periodicals for all students that are integrated into the curriculum, supported a reading initiative called "One Book, One District" where all students at all grade levels engage with a single text concurrent schedule that is incorporated into grade-level appropriate language arts curriculum, provided opportunities for students to perform with professional musicians, and supported a school-wide spelling bee. Furthermore, this program has funded materials and technology in classrooms that allowed teachers to tailor their lesson plans and educational activities to the needs of their individual classrooms.
