Letter from SCC Chair Tiffany Munns

As I walked the jam-packed halls of our school last Friday for Celebration of the Arts (which was AMAZING!), I saw so many parents who care about their children and their education!  And you know what my first thought was?  We need more of these parents involved at Beacon Heights!  One really easy, low, low, low-commitment way to do this is to JOIN School Community Council!  How low of a commitment, you ask?  One hour, once a month!  That's it!  Our meetings are held at 7:45 A.M. on the first Tuesday of each month.  We'll even give you June off!  What do we do at these meetings, you ask?  Simply put, we discuss ways we can make Beacon Heights a safer, happier, more educational place for YOUR kids!  I've only been a part of SCC for one year and am amazed at how much I've learned and how much more connected I feel to our school community.  We are begging (yes, begging!) for anyone and everyone to join, and are especially seeking parents who are newer to Beacon Heights with children in the lower grades. 

If you'd like to find out more or are even the tiniest bit interested, just send me an email!  Elections will be held NEXT TUESDAY, MAY 1 at 7:45 A.M. in the library (which basically means if you let me know you're interested you're in!)  Come and see what it's all about.

Thanks!

Beacon Heights Traffic Safety Plan

Our students are Beacon Heights' greatest assets. Please help us keep them safe by following these 6 simple rules. 1-Complete Stop:  Drivers approaching the school crosswalk must come to a complete stop at the school crosswalk if someone is in the crosswalk.  If a car is stopped at the crosswalk to allow  someone to cross the street, the driver of another car approaching from behind should never pass the stopped car For the rest of the rules, click here or on the image.
