BEACON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: JANUARY 2023
New Date for Winter Concerts!
Our winter concerts have been rescheduled for Wednesday, January 18. Beacon Elementary School students will be performing a selection of their favorite winter songs under the direction of Mrs. Allison Fagerstedt, Elementary Creative Arts Teacher. Students are encouraged to wear nicer than normal school clothes or holiday attire to their performance. Students are to report to the Beacon multipurpose room on the evening of their concert.
Due to limited parking and space available in the Beacon multipurpose room, please strictly adhere to the arrival and departure times so that all families may have the opportunity to enjoy the performances.
iReady Assessment Window
This month we will be using iReady again to assess students for their winter benchmarks. This online program helps us determine your child's needs, personalize their learning, and monitor progress throughout the year. Your child's teacher will be communicating testing dates with you.

It is very helpful to clearly label personal belongings with your child's name so that lost items may be returned promptly.
Prepare for Inclement Weather
Please make sure you are informed of possible delays or school closures due to inclement weather or road conditions.
The Montesano School District will initiate an automated phone call to the primary phone number listed on each student’s record to announce emergency schedule changes or school closures. Please log into your Skyward Family Access account to verify the primary phone number on your child’s record is correct.
