The 2010 Census is Coming: Be Counted!

Each year more than $400 billion in federal funds are awarded to states and communities based on Census data. This month, the US Census Bureau will provide all households with a 10 question survey aimed at gathering accurate population data. The questionnaire will ask questions such as name, gender, age, race and ethnicity, for each person living at the property address. The questionnaire does not ask for personal information or citizenship status. The 2010 Census has a direct impact on funding for our schools. During these tight budget times it is especially important that every member of our community is counted. Complete your Census and remember, it’s safe, it’s easy, it’s important, and everyone counts.

El Censo del 2010 se acerca : ¡Hágase contar!

Cada año se otorgan más de $400 billones de dólares a los estados y comunidades basados en los datos del Censo. Este mes el Censo de los Estados Unidos va a proporcionar una encuesta de un cuestionario de 10 preguntas dirigidas para recopilar los datos adecuados de la población. En el cuestionario se le harán preguntas como: su nombre, género, raza y etnicidad por cada persona que vive en la propiedad de su domicilio. El cuestionario no le pide información personal ó estatus de ciudadanía. El Censo 2010 tiene un impacto directo en los fondos para nuestras escuelas. Es muy importante que cada miembro de nuestra comunidad sea contado. Especialmente en este tiempo del presupuesto limitado. Llene el formulario del Censo y recuerde que el Censo es seguro, fácil e importante, y todos cuentan.

Dear Beech Avenue Families:

Welcome to Beech Avenue Elementary School.  We are proud of our school and its educational program.  We look forward to working with you and community members in educating your children, our most valuable and cherished asset.

The goal we all share is that our children receive an education which prepares them for their future education and career, and prepares them to be productive citizens. We ask for your support in meeting these goals.

We challenge you, Beech Avenue families, to be sure that your child attends school each and every day and that each day they arrive ON TIME.  Please remember that when your child is tardy or absent s/he misses out on important learning time, and all students in the school lose out because attendance affects our funding.

Please arrange medical and other appointments after school so your child will not miss school.  When your child is ill, call the school office or send a note to the teacher.  If you wish to discuss a matter with the teacher or principal, an appointment can be made.

We look forward to meeting you and working together to ensure your child’s success.   School-home communication is welcomed and encouraged.  If you have a question, please call the school at (909) 357-5060.

Respectfully,

Michele Mower
Principal
