District Planning Survey- Coming Soon!

The week of October 15th we will send out a survey to all Beacon families and staff members.  The results will help us with our budget and long-range planning.  I will email it out and send text reminders.  Your voice is important so when you see it, please take a few minutes to fill it out! Thanks.

Save the Date! Public Forum on NY Graduation Measure at BHS on October 16!

This is not a Beacon-specific event but is sponsored by the New York State Education Department so they can get feedback on their newly proposed graduation measures.  We would love to see you come out, the information is below.  We do not always get events like this in Beacon so we are grateful to help host it.

Dear Beacon Community:

I wanted to add two additional items to my weekly update.

Thank you

One item is a huge thank you to the many teachers, coaches, administrators, and support staff who helped out with Girls in Sports Day this past Saturday and those who helped many of our students march in the Spirit of Beacon Day parade yesterday.  Thank you!!! It means a lot to see so many of our students engaged this past weekend!

Wednesday, October 2 is School Custodial Workers Recognition Day

Thank you to all of our employees who keep our schools and buildings clean for all of us every single day!  We all greatly appreciate your work!

Have a great week!
