Science Fair

The 2013 Beacon Heights Elementary Science Fair was held on Friday, February 1, 2013 and it was a big success!  All of our 5th and 6th graders participated in the fair, having conducted experiments as individuals or partners, or in groups.  There were so many terrific projects and the students did a wonderful job presenting their projects to three judges each and then again to captivated visitors at the First Annual Math and Science Night.  We are so proud of all of our Bobcat student scientists and grateful for the support they received from their families.

Principal's Corner

The Arts at Beacon, Fall, 2012

Thank goodness for all of you helping bring strength to the Beacon classrooms!  It has been a delight to watch parents and teachers working together to continue to strengthen programs for all the children.  Most importantly, parent involvement has made it possible for teachers to focus on their instruction in the classroom with laser precision.  With the increased testing requirements, comes new dynamics to wrestle with to ensure that our students still have a strong academic experience.

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
