PARADE INFORMATION -- Inviting all ghosts, goblins and ghouls to our annual Halloween costume parade on Thursday, October 31, at 9:00 am. Weather permitting, the parade will take place outdoors. We encourage parents to find a spot along the parade route to watch students parade by. Let your neighbors know!
As a reminder, here are our guidelines for student’s costumes: Masks (which do not obscure vision) are allowed in the parade but need to be removed before or after the parade. No look-alike weapons or items that replicate shooting are allowed at all, even if it is part of a student’s costume. These include but are not limited to plastic guns, plastic swords, plastic Ninja weapons, etc. No blood and gore costumes.
If you have any questions about your student’s costume, please talk with your student’s teacher. After the parade, students will return to their classrooms and teachers will let them know what the rest of the day’s activities will entail.
PARADE ROUTE -- Principal, Rae Louie, and Assistant Principal, Linda Lesue, will lead the parade, pick up classes and exit the building using the main doors on the upper level. We will parade around the block and return to the school re-entering the building using the main doors on the upper level. CLICK FOR MAP
We appreciate the patience of our students and families this week, as we have been trying to start online instruction but have been unable to do so due to this windstorm and the associated power outages. Power remains out at Beacon Heights Elementary, but we are hopeful it will be restored soon. We know many of our Beacon families are without power and heat, as well, and our thoughts are with you. We do anticipate starting school online this Monday, September 14, at 8:45 a.m. Teachers have been resilient and wonderful during the frustrations of the past few days. They are excited to get the school year started and to finally see their students over Zoom. We fully anticipate being ready to begin Monday morning, and we look forward to next week with enthusiasm. We wish you and your families the best this weekend. We hope power and internet will be restored to your homes, and we hope any damage to your residences has been minimal. Please let us know if you need anything. Be safe and take care of your wonderful families!
Dear Parents and Students,
We are excited to allow students to begin a holds service to get physical books from the Beacon Heights Library. This is the procedure we will follow.
