Dear Hawk Families:
Our big fall fundraiser is underway and kids are already racking up their panda collections. Thank you, PTO, for kicking off this event to raise money for our school.
The entire BECS community would like to thank Tayla Atkinson, Dick’s Sporting Goods in Brighton, and Ulises Gonzalez for donating sports equipment for our students to use at recess. We greatly appreciate your donations, and thank you for supporting the entire BECS community!
Have a great weekend Hawks!

Appropriate Student Discourse:
Parents, please have a conversation with your students about conversations that are appropriate or not appropriate in class. Although there are a variety of topics that are inappropriate for a school setting, students need to know that talking about guns, even in a joking manner, is not appropriate. Even when the conversations are not threatening in nature, the topic can be easily misunderstood and make students and the community feel unsafe. Conversations of this nature lead to the school conducting a Threat Assessment that involves fact-finding, student and parent interviews, a possible home visit by the School Resource Officer (SRO) and the development of a safety plan. This is all in addition to whatever consequences are appropriate for the particular situation.

Lockdown Drill Announcement and Resources:
On Monday, September 26th at approximately 2:30 pm, BECS will be conducting its first lockdown drill of the school year. BECS works to ensure physical and psychological safety for students, and part of that work includes lockdown drills. Students may experience a lockdown when there is a reported threat to safety within the school. Also, BECS will involve the Brighton Police Department to ensure that in case of an actual lockdown, Brighton PD is familiar with the layout of our school. Below, you will find a link to a document that will help you discuss this lockdown drill with your student if you so choose. We will communicate to the community when the lockdown drill has concluded.
While this lockdown drill is happening, or any other drill that BECS conducts throughout the year, parents will not be able to enter the school for any reason until the drill concludes. After the drill concludes, BECS will send communication to the community that the drill has concluded.

SOS Training-7th Graders:
SOS Training for 7th Graders
The counseling department at BECS is always working on ways to directly support student achievement by responding to the social-emotional needs of our students. In order to proactively address some of these issues around depression and suicide, we are offering a suicide prevention lesson for 7th-grade students utilizing parts of the Time to ACT: SOS Signs of Suicide middle school curriculum. The SOS program has been a part of other school counseling programs within the metro area for many years and has been used by thousands of schools nationwide since 2000. Please click HERE to read more about what will be offered at BECS and other information pertaining to the program.
SOAR Student of the Month Awards:
Beginning at the end of September, and continuing each month throughout the school year, each grade level team will select 8 students throughout the grade level who will be the winners of 8 SOAR awards. 2 winners will be selected for each SOAR attribute (Success, Ownership, Attitude, Respect) and will receive a certificate. The 8 winners from each grade level will also take a group picture that will be posted in the main hallway for the entire BECS community to see. This is an opportunity for each grade level to celebrate the brilliance and the leaders of each grade!
