Board of Education visits Beacon

Join members of the Hilliard City Schools Board of Education for conversation before the Tuesday, May 1 PTO meeting.  Members of the board will be available to meet parents and discuss items that are important to you for about 30 minutes prior to the meeting.  The board will listen to parent input and share some recent district highlights.  Please join us at 6:30pm on May 1 in the Media Center.

The regular monthly PTO meeting will follow at 7pm.

Testing schedule

OAA testing begins for students in grades 3,4 and 5. The testing schedule is as follows:  Wednesday, April 25 – Reading; Tuesday, May 1 – Math; and, Thursday, May 3  - Science (grade 5 only).

Tips For Students

o Arrive to School On time

o  Rested (Good bedtimes, please!)

o  Fed (Enjoy breakfast at home or at school – just please make sure they eat!  Food in the tummy makes the brain work better!)

o  Possessing a good attitude (Confidence is a great boost!)

o  Relaxed (It is but one day in the life of a school year.)

o  Remembering (The students know great test taking strategies and should use them!)

Additionally, Thursday brings our last Late Start, meaning that everything is 2 hours later (bus pick up, etc).  Remember, there will be no morning kindergarten.  And, cheese pizza is the only lunch option.  No breakfast is served on Thursday.

Thank you for your continued support of the fabulous Beacon community!  Remember, at Beacon  Take care of Others. Take care of Yourself and Take care of This Place!

I LOVE MATH!!!!

Do you want Mrs. Leach to principal from the roof? Do you want the chance to throw a pie at your teacher?

If so, get those pledge sheets turned in by Tuesday, February 14. If you have collected any pledge money, please turn that in with your pledge sheet.  We will return the pledge sheets on Thursday, February 16 so you can collect any remaining money.

Remember, if our school earns over $5,000 in total donations, Mrs. Leach will be principal from the roof!  If your classroom raises over $400, a student in the class will be randomly chosen to throw a pie in your teacher’s face!

Don’t forget about the other prizes!!  The top $$$ Fundraiser will win an iPod Touch!  The top 3 $$$ Fundraisers in each grade will win a Beacon Cinch Sack.   We also have Raffle tickets for the Sock Hop (March 9 @ Beacon) and drawings for Target Gift Cards.

Keep working on those Math Activities and Good Luck!
