Student Safety - Standard Response Protocol
Safety remains a priority for our school. Beacon Tree is once again providing training to our students on our safety protocols. The protocols identify actions that students may be asked to take in the event of a potential incident: hold, secure, lockdown, evacuate and shelter.
The training is provided through a short, animated video. In the video, the teacher – Mrs. Appleton – and her students walk through the different responses in a very relaxed and engaging way for younger children.
The protocols will continue to be part of the training while practicing our regular school safety drills, such as fire drills, security drills, tornado drills, evacuation procedures, etc.
The video is available for you to review at this link: UCS School Safety: Standard Response Protocol - Elementary - YouTube If you have any questions, please contact our office.

Young 5s, Kindergarten, First Grade Pick Up Procedures
Parent Pick-Up Lane
Parents, we need your help. If you are picking up your children at the end of the day in the parent pick up lane, please be sure that you are pulling forward to the car in front of you. This will help the pick-up line to not feed out onto Schoenherr.
Thank you so much!
Background Check Required EVERY Year
Please note that in order to volunteer at Beacon Tree, a Volunteer Criminal History Check Form will need to be completed and submitted EVERY YEAR.
The form is attached below. Please fill it out and email it to officebeacontree@uticak12.org or turn it into the Main Office.

FUN RUN INFORMATION
We are officially kicking off our 2024 FUN RUN Fundraiser today! The theme is ICE CREAM! We held an assembly for the students this afternoon and we're off to the races. Check those backpacks for full details on how to register your Get Movin' account and share to start collecting donations. We have lots of amazing incentives for individuals, classrooms, and schoolwide. See the flyers for full details.
Fundraising is now until Friday, September 27. Friday the 27th is our big day when we have our Fun Run during your child's specials hour. Stay tuned for a signup for volunteers to help get each class to and from the back field and most importantly...help distribute freezer pops at the end!
Our school goal is $30,000 and if we hit that, Mrs. Lenz will be turned into a HUMAN SUNDAE. Last year we ended up raising over $50,000 - can we beat last year?!?!
Register and share your pages! Do we hear $10,000 raised by Monday?!?!
