LBHS Update 11/9/2020

Dear Bengal Families,

I am simply amazed that we are finishing up our first quarter and heading into the busy holiday season. We are so proud of the hard work your students have put in and look forward to a great 2nd quarter. I will provide details in this Blast about report cards, etc. but I want to remind you to empower your students to reach out to their teachers and counselors if they have questions or need assistance. We welcome parental inquiries as well but are trying to foster student agency in letting them ask for help and navigate high school. Of course, if they are struggling or you feel more is needed, we want to know. Partnering with you to help them grow into mature, responsible young adults is key.

I also wanted to commend your students for really engaging in their classes and CREW activities. We just finished up our first spirit week and while we could not have a dance or traditional homecoming, they dressed up and participated in pumpkin decorating (and smashing) and have been competing weekly in CREW games and events. Their creativity and school spirit is inspiring. We also held our first Student Government Elections and results will be announced soon. Be sure to check out our website regularly for more updates and information as I am sure I am forgetting something!

Lastly, I wanted to thank everyone that has joined our Beckham One Foundation whether PTSO or a booster group. Your generosity is being felt around the school by students and staff and we have some big projects coming up that we could not accomplish without your support. From staff lunches and the Whoohoo Wagon to Pelican Snoballs at lunch, we are feeling the love from our family and community. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

WE are stronger together. One team, one family, one Beckham!

Your very proud principal,

Mrs. Dassing
