LBE Families,
Today we had another incident with smoke coming from the boiler exhaust on the roof. The smoke did not trigger the fire alarm, but out of an abundance of caution, I manually activated the alarm to safely evacuate all students and staff. The Long Beach Fire Department responded quickly, inspected the building, and confirmed there was no fire.
While there was heavy smoke, the source was confined to the boiler exhaust. The boiler has been shut down until specialists can inspect and resolve the issue. Once the fire department cleared the building, students and staff safely returned to class.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we always prioritize student safety.

Good afternoon families,
At Long Beach Elementary, we ask that students leave cell phones, tablets, gaming devices, and other electronics at home. These devices can easily be lost or damaged and, more importantly, they interrupt learning. Because we are a primary school, our students are still developing the responsibility to manage electronics appropriately. Messaging watches (like Gabb or Gizmo) are discouraged, but if your child brings one, it must stay in their backpack for the entire school day and not be used during class, recess, or lunch.
Thanks for your help.

Dear Families,
We're off to a great start of the new school year! Tomorrow (Thursday) will be the last day parents are allowed inside the building in the mornings. Beginning Friday, students will walk to class on their own.
This change is important to ensure the safety of all students and to minimize disruptions as we start the school day. Once all students are inside, we become a closed campus with entry and exit strictly monitored.
Thank you for your understanding and support as we help students build independence and keep our school safe.
