BWS is a close-knit community.  When I first came here I was impressed that every teacher knew every student's name.  It feels like a family.  This is especially true when staff and students rally together when someone is struggling, and they offer support or simply lend an ear.  It makes for a positive work environment, which in turns creates a positive classroom environment.  Students can sense the caring and dedication among their teachers and this pours over into all aspects of BWS.

I love that Becket Washington School is a tight knit community school.  The teachers really care about each one of their students and do a great job communicating with families and including us in our children's education

I loved being a parent of a student who went to this school, a substitute who got to see the teachers in action and a staff member who now gets to see the children every day. In all these phases of my experience here at BWS, one thing has always been consistent: The teachers and staff really care about our children and want them to have the best education possible. I witness this in how the teachers grab the children's attention with an interesting story; how a teacher can see that someone who can't quite grasp our way of learning explains it in another way, and POOF, they get it.  It has been a pleasure to be a part of this.
Being around the younger generation of parents has been rewarding as well. To see the parents in the towns of Becket and Washington continue to support their children and the school is a wonderful thing.

I love that the school is filled with teachers smiling warmly; that students are welcomed, supported, and accepted for all their styles and eccentricities.

I love that Nahara comes home and tells me facts she has learned at school. Sometimes the information is new to me, and we become excited together.

We appreciate Becket-Washington School, its devoted teachers, and its warm accepting atmosphere. We feel so grateful to be a part of the community.

I like BWS because it has my friends.

All of the teachers are nice and so are the kids. Another reason I like bws is that we get choice instead of doing one thing over and over again. My third reason is that we have specials like gym, music, art and library. I like them because you never know what their gonna do. My final reason is that we have computers, many schools don’t have computers and thats why were lucky.

I love Becket Washington School because it a community where kindness, respect, and learning are always at the forefront.  Every day this building fills up with caring, dedicated students and adults who take care of each other, and want the best for everyone. We support each other in learning new things, taking chances, and striving to be the best we can be. It is a special place and makes me smile each morning as I am privileged to walk through the doors of this unique community.

We are so happy that our children attend BWS. All of you work so hard to make the school a safe, fun, and healthy learning environment. We are proud of this school and all that you do to make it so great. We truly admire the fact that you can so patiently manage all of these children day in and day out! In particularly, ours... who are wonderful, sweet, and amazing ;) but can also be a handful! We have felt so much support, especially with Everett's diabetes and celiac. Everyone has taken the effort to learn and recognize symptoms, as well as follow him around with an iPod for two years! We feel comfortable with him in your care - which is a huge deal, since most T1D kids don't have that kind of support at school! We greatly appreciate all of your hard work and efforts!
All the Best,
Kris Massini and Sarah Reedy

One of the things that I like about Becket Washington is they are always there for you if you need help.

Another thing is that Becket Washington has NO SCHOOL UNIFORMS! I know that it is odd but I hate school uniforms.

I also like that Becket Washington does things like the museum walk, and field day.

Becket Washington is a really good school!

I have been in love with Becket Washington School since my son Nolan began attending five years ago.  Shelly Grogan provided him with what I like to refer as the ultimate kindergarten experience.  My daughter Sadie is enjoying the same experience.  Shelly instilled a lifelong love of learning in my children.

I am so impressed with the education my children are receiving at BWS and the AMAZING teachers who are guiding them.  In my opinion, the BWS teachers go above and beyond the call of duty.  They are nurturing, patient, kind, respectful, enthusiastic, creative, inspiring, and tireless. I first observed this as a parent of children enrolled at BWS.  Most recently, I have had the privilege of working with this amazing group of teachers as a substitute teacher.  I have seen first hand how hard these teachers work, how seriously they take their job as educators, how much they love what they do, and how much they care for the children they are teaching.

I would like to thank all of the remarkable teachers at BWS and Mrs. McCloskey for all that you have done for our children and continue to do to provide them with the best education possible!  You really are the BEST!

Many thanks,

We love Becket-Washington school because the teachers and staff are truly invested in the students' success. The students sense this and it makes their school experience that much more productive and enjoyable.

Also every time we, the parents, are in school the teachers and staff always smile, say "Hi" and make us feel welcome.Thank you Becket-Washington!~The Oakes Family

We are very grateful for all of the teachers at Becket Washington school. We feel very lucky to have had the experience with all three of our children.

I had the conversation with Jake and how he feels and this is one he had to say :

Mrs. Griffin: “that she is always there for me. When I get frustrated she always helps me.” Mrs. McComish: “She is there for me and she helps me try hard to read, she never makes me feel bad about myself.” Thank you for everything and I hope all the teachers and paras have a wonderful week!!!
