We Need Volunteers!

Beacon Park School is better with YOU! PTA has so many great ideas to support and engage your children this year, but it cannot run its awesome programs without the assistance of parent volunteers! Whether you are available for 30 minutes every so often OR for several hours per week, PTA has so many FUN and REWARDING volunteer opportunities for you to choose from.


Please fill out THIS form to let us know how you'd like to help!

🚧 Safety & Courtesy Reminders 🚧

  • It has come to our attention that alcohol was being consumed by some parents on the field during our Back-to-School Concert & Picnic. Reminder: per local laws AND for the safety of our children, no alcohol (or dogs) are allowed on the school campus.


  • Do not park in marked spots unless the spot is marked with your name or school role.


  • Do not park in the pick-up/drop-off lanes - stay in your car and pull forward as cars move out of the line.


  • Do not stop, pick up, or drop off students in the middle of either parking lot - use the pick-up/drop-off lanes OR park in an appropriate spot first before your student exits or enters your car.


Interested in volunteering to help monitor our parking lot safety? We are working on putting together a Bengal Safety Committee - contact Erin if interested!


Thank you for doing your part in protecting the safety of and being courteous to our Bengal families and staff!
