Dear Beacon Elementary Families,
Out of an abundance of caution and increasing evidence of COVID-19 community spread in Washington State, Beacon Elementary will be cancelling our first and second grade field trip to the Washington Center for the Performing Arts this Friday, March 13. By cancelling this field trip, we can help limit staff and students' exposure to environments outside of our school setting.
We will continue to seek guidance from local and state health officials and reassess similar activities as needed.
We thoughtfully and carefully consider each of these decisions, and we recognize any decision will have impacts. However, these additional preventative measures will help limit exposure while we continue to focus on maintaining a safe learning environment.
In partnership,
Barbara Page, Principal

In celebration of Dr. Seuss’ birthday and Read Across America Day, Beacon students will participate in a reading challenge March 6-23. Each class will establish a goal for the total numbers of minutes to be read each night. Students will be asked to record the number of minutes they read at home, or the number of minutes a parent reads to them, or a combination of both. Students should have parents sign the official form and return it to class at the beginning of each day. On March 23, classes will tally the total of minutes read. Any class achieving the established goal will get a popcorn party and watch a Dr. Seuss movie during specialist time. LET’S GET OUR KIDDOS READING!!!

The YMCA has been blessed with the opportunity to provide swim lessons for school age children. The goal is to ensure that children in Grays Harbor will be taught water safety skills. The Montesano School District has been awarded the Grays Harbor Swim Grant which will provide swim lessons and transportation for our students in kindergarten through second grade. Swim lessons will be held in the afternoon on March 23-April 2 for first grade, May 11-21 for kindergarten and May 26-June 5 for second grade. Each student will need to provide his/her own swimsuit, a towel in a plastic bag, extra underwear, and optional water bottle. Parent volunteers are needed to help chaperone and supervise the locker room. Dads and grandfathers are especially needed to help supervise the boys’ locker room. The YMCA will provide a male attendant for the boys’ locker room if we have no male volunteers. Look for detailed information to come home soon. Should you have any questions, please contact our main office.
