              1. ValueThe Beautification committee is responsible for planning, implementing, and maintaining projects to enhance the beauty of Beaumont both inside and outside. The committee also maintains the planted area on Newtown and Beaumont Roads under the school sign. Volunteers can help in a variety of ways. For outdoor beautification, we can use help with planting flowers or spring bulbs, watering, and creative input. Most of the work is done just before school starts in September and in the spring. 
                 
                The committee decorates the lobby and makes decorations and imrpovements within the school. It also takes care of displays in the lobby showcase: 
                 
                - If you know of a student, teacher, or staff member who should be recognized or honored in this space for a special accomplishment or endeavor, please contact one of the co-chairs 
                 
                - If you are working on an event that requires use of the lobby and/or lobby showcase for marketing and/or decoration, please contact one of the co-chairs to schedule the space for your committee 
                 
                Please contact the co-chairs with any ideas on indoor beautification projects or specific needs. The committee is always looking for help, so please do not hesitate to join this great committee!

                Beaumont Chess Club plans to work with beginner chess players at each session to teach basic piece movement, chess notation and begin game play. In addition, we plan to arrange players in groups according to ability. Hopefully, we will be able to spend a short time each session teaching chess strategy to the whole group. 
                 
                Beaumont Chess Club would like to have 2 or 3 parents as supervisors for each session. Usually, we have at least 40 players, so parent volunteers are crucial to the smooth running of the club. YOU DO NOT NEED TO KNOW HOW TO PLAY CHESS TO SUPERVISE! 
                 
                Beaumont Chess Club is asking for a $10 per player contribution, good for the 2010-2011 chess season. Please make all checks out to Beaumont HSA. 
                 
                Attendance is not mandatory at every meeting, try your best. Arriving at 7:30 am is not mandatory, try your best.

              1. Value**WHAT:** Enjoy an evening with your family and Beaumont friends for a pizza dinner in the cafeteria followed by BINGO in the gym 
                 
                **WHO:** All Beaumont Families – parents and siblings, young and old! 
                 
                **WHEN:** Friday night, January 20, 2012. Two seating times available: 5:30 or 6:30. The first seating includes dinner from 5:30-6:00 and BINGO from 6:00-6:45. The second seating includes dinner from 6:30-7:00 and BINGO from 7:00-7:45. 
                 
                **HOW IT WORKS:** While each family pays for their own dinner, the event heavily relies on donations and volunteers. 
                 
                Donations of desserts are needed to help everyone end dinner on a sweet note before heading into BINGO fun. 
                 
                Donations of new or gently used toys are needed to ensure every player will have something waiting for them at the prize table. Every player will be eligible to select only one prize but may continue top play throughout the session. BINGO play will continue as long as possible with the hope that every child has the chance to win, but this cannot be guaranteed. Consolation prizes will be available. 
                 
                Prize donations are critical to ensure the success of the evening for the players. The number of children in each family participating in BINGO is a perfect number of prizes to donate. Collection bin is now in the lobby ready to receive prize donations. 
                 
                Volunteers are needed to help with the check in, dinner and the game. Even if your family is attending one session, please consider volunteering for the other session to help support the event. 
                 
                Remember to bring your blanket or beach towels for the the BINGO game!

              1. ValueThe Publishing Center at Beaumont is responsible for publishing stories written and illustrated by Beaumont students. The Publishing Center creates a hardback book for the students and their parents to treasure. The center publishes over 150 stories each year! 
                 
                All students in the 1st and 3rd grade are required to write and illustrate a story to publish, but many other students also submit stories during the year. The assembly of books is accomplished by volunteers. 
                 
                The Publishing Center is a parent-run activity. Parents are needed to type and edit submitted stories. After the typed pages have been illustrated by the students, the pages are bound. The center is open September through June. The majority of work begins in January. 
                 
                The Publishing Center is now officically open and accepting stories to be published. Getting your child's story published is VERY easy: 
                 
                1. Have your child write a story of any topic, any length, and submit it to his/her teacher. 
                2. The story can be handwritten or typed. 
                3. The story will be returned to them for proofreading and dedication 
                4. A final copy of the story will be returned for illustration 
                5. A final book will be bound and returned to your child! 
                 
                Any questions, please contact the chairpersons of this committee. Stories may also be emailed to the Publishing Center at <publishingcenter@beaumonthsa.org>.

            In case the need arises to close school suddenly during the school day (due to storm, power failure, etc.) we will initiate our emergency calling system. If you are seldom at home during school hours, it would be advisable to plan emergency procedures with your child.

          2. Value**Disclaimer:** This section is provided as a service to our parents. While we do our best to keep up-to-date, some information and procedures described here may be updated or changed by the school or district School Board without our knowledge. 
             
            Our school cafeteria operates under the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs. Menus are published in the Bear Facts, posted in the school, are on the district web site [here][1] (PDF), and are shown on the T/E school district's cable channel. In addition to the published menu, students can substitute a cold sandwich or pizza (and other special offerings) for the main dish. 
             
            Our school uses a "point of sale" system in the cafeteria. This eliminates the need to carry cash each day and helps to alleviate lines at the cashier. This computerized debit system tracks students' meals and snack purchases and payments. Each student is assigned a 4-digit PIN number to access his/her account. This PIN will carry through his/her years in the school district. 
             
            Money can be deposited in your child's account by cash or check (payable to Beaumont Cafeteria) in an envelope with your child's name and room number on it. If a check is returned, any service charge from the bank will be passed on to the parent. You can also use a credit card for payment using the [Paypams][2] website; there is a fee to use this service. 
             
            When a student does not have money in their account for lunch he/she may charge lunch or milk only. If your child charges, please try to repay this debt the next day. Encourage your child to keep up to date with the balance in his/her account. Charging is a privilege and should be used only on an occasional basis.

            [2]: https://paypams.com/
          3. ValueBoth the breakfast and lunch programs operate under the "Offer vs. Serve" option under which students may choose at least three of the five lunch components and three of the four breakfast components. Students are encouraged to take all components. 
             
            Breakfast is available from the time the buses arrive until students must report to their core class. The cost of student breakfast is $1.25 (or $5.50 for 5 meals and $11.00 for ten.) The breakfast includes 1/2 cup of fruit or juice, a total of 2 ounces of bread, cereal or meat/cheese, and 1/2 pint of milk. 
             
            The cost of a student lunch is $2.10 (or $10.50 for 5 meals or $21.00 for 10 meals.) The lunch includes 2 ounces of meat or meat alternate, 3/4 cup of at least two different fruits and or vegetables, and a 1/2 pint of milk. There are five entrees to choose from each day. 
             
            The cafeteria offers skim, low fat, and whole white milk and low fat chocolate milk with lunch as well as a la carte ($.55). Healthy snacks and desserts are offered on an a la cart basis, after the students have had time to eat their lunch. Some of the popular items are: water ($.50); soft pretzel ($.50); ice cream ($.50-.65); cookie ($.50); bagged snacks--baked only, no trans fats ($.50; and fresh fruit ($.75). 
             
            Parents may put restrictions on their child’s account by sending a letter to the Cafeteria Coordinator in your school. The system can block a la carte purchases, can limit dollar amount of daily expenditures on a la carte purchases, or can permit a la carte purchases on certain days of the week. The system has no way to limit a la carte purchases based on the number of times a week or for specific items. 
             
            Information regarding free and reduced price lunch applications is available either in the school guidance office or the Food Service Office at 610-644-6600. Students approved for these meals use the same type of POS account as the other students. 
             
            More information is available at the [district food services website][3].

            The Beaumont Blast comes out every Sunday at 5 p.m. to prepare families for the week (and months!) ahead. The deadline for Blast submissions is 9 p.m. the Thursday prior to the Blast. For more guidelines and helpful hints, please click [here][1]. 
             
            ##### Bear Facts 
             
            In an effort to save paper and streamline communications, the Bear Facts newsletter was discontinued in the fall of 2011. All information previously found in the Bear Facts is now being sent electronically through the weekly Blast. 
             
            ##### Website Publicity 
             
            All information submitted to the Blast is also posted on the HSA Web site, often before the Blast comes out. **Please, remember to include the HSA website address on each flyer that you create that will be distributed in school! We REALLY want to reduce the amount of paper waste that goes home. Reduce waste and go green!** 
             
            ##### Deposits 
             
            This is relevant to the volunteers who chair events with a financial component. Please, make sure to deposit checks and other payments in a timely manner. Parents do not want to have checks clear a month or more after it was sent in. If you have an event for which money collections occur for more than 2 weeks, please deposit payments on a weekly basis. Make sure all deposits are made to the Assistant Treasurer within 5 days of an event ending. 
             
            When making a deposit, make sure to sort bills and count all monies cash and check and note these totals on the [HSA Event Reconciliation Form][3]. 
             
            ##### Expenses 
             
            It is important to keep track of expenses related to your event. Expenses must be described and receipts must be attached in order to be considered for reimbursement. Expense requests must first be approved by the committee chairperson. Please complete all expense reimbursement requests within 5 days of an event ending using the [HSA Expense Reimbursement Form][4].

          11. Value## Links 
             
            A link is created in two steps. The first step is to insert the link text and a reference id at the position desired within your content. The second step is to add the remainder of the link information at the bottom of the Markdown entry. Here's an example: 
             
            > This is my content and I want to link to the \[HSA Forms\]\[1\] page. 
             
            > ... (more content until we reach the bottom of this entry) ... 
             
            > \[1\]: http://www.beaumonthsa.org/hsa-forms.aspx "HSA Forms" 
             
            In the first step, I typed the link text enclosed by square brackets and then the reference id (a unique number also enclosed by square brackets). 
             
            In the second step, I typed the reference id followed by a colon, a space, the link url, another space and the link title (the text that pops up when you hover over the link). Note that the title is enclosed by quotes. 
             
            Here it is for real: 
             
            > This is my content and I want to reference the [HSA Forms][1] page. 
             
            [1]: http://www.beaumonthsa.org/hsa-forms.aspx "HSA Forms"
          13. Value## Images 
             
            Like a normal link, an image is created in two steps. The first step is to insert the image alt text and a reference id at the position desired within your content. You can optionally add a "CLEAR" tag (as shown below) to ensure that the text that follows the image will start below the image and not to the right of the image. The last step is to add the remainder of the image information at the bottom of Markdown entry. Here's an example: 
             
            > This is my content and I want to display the bear header. 
             
            > \!\[BHSA Bear Header\]\[1\]\[CLEAR\] 
             
            > ... (more content until we reach the bottom of this entry) ... 
             
            > \[1\]: https://www.xtivus.com/public/bearheader.gif?id=1518:11:81&h=60 "Beaumont Elementary School HSA!" 
             
            In the first step, I typed the image alt text enclosed by square brackets and then the reference id (a unique number also enclosed by square brackets). Except for the "CLEAR" tag, it's just like the first step in the link process. *Or is it?* **Look at the start of the entry.** There is an exclamation point right before the first square bracket. You need that exclamation point for the image to appear. 
             
            In the second step, I typed the reference id followed by a colon, a space, the image url, another space and the image title (the text that pops up when you hover over the image). Note that the title is enclosed by quotes. 
             
            Here it is for real: 
             
            > This is my content and I want to display the bear header. 
             
            > ![BHSA Bear Header][1][CLEAR]

          16. Value## Limitations 
             
            There is a current limitation in xtivus that prevents you from taking advantage of the complete Markdown syntax. Text created in xtivus is currently "scrubbed" of extra whitespace (spaces, tabs and the like). This was done so that plain text content resembles in xtivus how it will eventually appear in a web page. Unfortunately, Markdown sometimes relies on that extra whitespace. 
             
            To create a code block using Markdown, you begin lines with at least four spaces. They get wiped away by xtivus. The workaround is not too bad. Simply start each line with `++++` (four plus signs) instead of the four spaces. Note that this also applies to multi-level/multi-paragraph lists. 
             
            To create a new line within the same paragraph using Markdown, you end the line with two spaces and hit Enter to begin a new line. The extra spaces are deleted by xtivus. Again, the workaround is not too bad. Simply end the line with `++` (two plus signs) instead of the two spaces.
          2. Value## Sandbox Usage Guidelines 
             
            This sandbox was created to demonstrate common Markdown syntax. It can also be used to test your content changes before taking them ***live***. While the "View" link within the detail tab of xtivus is handy for seeing your Markdown content as rendered in HTML, it cannot show you exactly what your content will look like within beaumonthsa.org. Why? Because the "View" link yields unstyled HTML whereas beaumonthsa.org is highly styled. 
             
            You can experiment using the sandbox. Simply add new entries within the Markdown Sandbox list. Click the "View" link in the xtivus detail tab for a quick look or click the Markdown Sandbox link (under Markdown Links) in the xtivus left nav to see the results in beaumonthsa.org. 
             
            If you are adding or replacing a large amount of content in beaumonthsa.org consider taking the following steps: 
             
            1. create a new Markdown List under Virtual Pages, ***or*** 
            2. copy an existing Markdown List and paste it under Virtual Pages 
            3. give the Markdown List a *unique* name ending in `.aspx` 
            4. the name should be all lower case, hyphenated, no spaces 
            5. to quickly see your changes, click the "View" link within xtivus 
            6. to see it in beaumonthsa.org, go to http://beaumonthsa.xtivus.com/`list-name` 
             
            That's all there is to using the Markdown Sandbox! The remainder of this document shows typical usage of Markdown within beaumonthsa.org.

            >The Olweus [pronounced Ol-VEY-us] Bullying Prevention Program is a comprehensive, school-wide program designed for use in elementary, middle, or junior high schools. 
             
            >Its goals are to reduce and prevent bullying problems among school children and to improve peer relations at school. The program has been found to: 
             
            >- reduce bullying among children 
            >- improve the social climate of classrooms 
            >- and reduce related antisocial behaviors, such as vandalism and truancy 
             
            >The Olweus Program has been implemented in more than one dozen countries around the world.

            PLEASE NOTE: Email may not be the fastest and most convenient way to send messages to teachers and staff. Some teachers read their email messages in the morning before school, some at the end of the day, and some during the school day. Many prefer to use the phone to speak directly to parents. 
             
            For these reasons, use email only for non-vital messages. Do not use email to inform the teacher of schedule changes for your child. Confidential information should be conveyed only by phone or personal contact; this includes messages regarding your child's academic progress, learning expectations, and behavioral issues. For all medical and health concerns, contact the school nurse only by phone.

Written parental requests for occasional, short-term bus exceptions are to be directed to the principal, who in turn will evaluate the requests and, if approved, issue a day pass. Day passes will be issued for lessons, scouting, or supervision, and are contingent upon available seats. 
             
            Parents who desire a long-term exception to bus assignments specifically for the purpose of child care shall complete a Request for Long-Term Alternate Bus Assignment Form. Consideration will be given only to requests for alternate transportation within a student's attendance area on a regular basis for a semester or an academic year, subject to space availability. 
             
            Students who normally ride buses may not walk home without written permission from their parents. If parents want to give their children blanket permission to walk home at their own discretion, a letter stating this information must be on file in the school office. 
             
            ### Transportation Changes 
             
            When your child will not be going home by the usual way, please send a note to school stating how your child will be going home. If a pass for another bus is requested, please include the following information in the note: 
             
            - your child's first and last name 
            - the student (first and last name) with whom your child will be going home 
            - the number of the bus your child will be riding 
             
            ### Carpool Drop-Off/Pick-Up 
             
            Morning drop-offs are done in the carpool circle after 8:30am. PM Kindergarten students should also be dropped off in the carpool circle from 12:20 to 12:35pm. If you will be picking up your child after school at 3:20pm, you must send a note to let your child's teacher know you will be waiting at carpool. 
             
            Please take note of the following for Drop-offs [Carpool Reminders][2].

          2. ValueThe school program is greatly enriched by the volunteer services of many parents. Volunteers play an important role in the quality of life in our school. The assistance and support they offer to students and staff is invaluable and their contributions are part of what makes our school so special. 
             
            The following guidelines have been developed to assist you in serving this unique function. Offering to volunteer in our school assumes your understanding and agreement of these guidelines. 
             
            **Confidentiality** ++ 
            Information you see or hear can affect the lives and futures of individual students. Volunteers must respect the privacy of this information and maintain the same in strict confidence. 
             
            **Relations with Students** ++ 
            Volunteers are viewed by students and parents as representatives of the School Board and the School Administration, and are perceived by students as authority figures. When students raise issues of a personal or controversial nature, volunteers are placed in a difficult position. While working in a volunteer capacity in school or at school-related activities, however, volunteers must refrain from debating, discussing or imposing their opinions on students in personal or controversial issues. 
             
            **Attendance** ++ 
            School personnel and HSA volunteer chairpersons depend upon and plan for the assistance of volunteers as scheduled. Volunteers are encouraged to be courteous and notify the individuals with whom they work as far in advance as possible if they are unable to help as scheduled. 
             
            The following information is regulation 1300 from the T/E School District Policies and Regulations regarding volunteers. The PDF form is available at [R1300.pdf][1] if you wish to download it. 
             
            [1]: http://www.tesd.net/cms/lib/PA01001259/Centricity/Domain/14/R1300.pdf
          4. ValueThese guidelines apply to all volunteers involved with the District in any capacity including, but not limited to volunteers involved with: 
             
            1. District educational programs including field trips; 
            2. District sponsored cocurricular activities, extracurricular activities or clubs; 
            3. District administration such as clerical work on behalf of schools; and 
            4. Activities sponsored or promoted by District schools. 
             
            “Regular volunteers” means volunteers who have regular and significant contact with students or with confidential student information and includes volunteer coaches, activity advisors, clerical volunteers, and all regularly scheduled volunteers. 
             
            All volunteers will be expected to follow these guidelines: 
             
            1. Respect the authority of the teacher or supervisor as the decision maker and as the person responsible for the instructional program, all classroom activities, and the well-being of all children in the classroom or school. Teachers or supervisors bear the ultimate responsibility for the welfare of students during school activities. When working with students or chaperoning field trips or school activities, parent volunteers must report all incidents of inappropriate behavior or situations in which students might be in danger to the teacher or supervisor in charge of the activity. 
             
            2. Respect the privacy and anonymity of each child by maintaining the confidentiality of information regarding students. Information regarding student classroom performance and/or behavior and information contained in student records must be shared only with District employees with an “educational need to know” the information. Information from student records is regulated by the Family Educational Rights Privacy Act. 
             
            3. Report all incidents of suspected child abuse to the teacher or supervisor in charge. 
             
            4. Maintain a professional relationship with students. Volunteers are viewed as representatives of the School Board and Administration. When issues of a personal or confidential nature are raised by students, volunteers are placed in a difficult situation. Nonetheless, volunteers must refrain from imposing their own opinions on students regarding matters of a personal nature. 
             
            5. Courteously inform your supervising teacher or supervisor if unable to attend volunteer activity and document attendance as requested by supervising teacher or supervisor.
          5. ValueRegular volunteers are expected to be familiar with District policies and receive training provided by the District for volunteers. In particular, regular volunteers are expected to comply with the following: 
             
            1. District policies and administrative regulations regarding child abuse identification and reporting. Regular volunteers who have direct unsupervised contact with students are expected to provide child abuse clearance checks consistent with the District child/student abuse policy. 
             
            2. District policies and administrative regulations regarding the prohibition of discrimination within the District. 
             
            3. District policies and administrative regulations regarding unlawful harassment. 
             
            4. District policies and administrative regulations regarding student accidents. 
             
            5. District policies and administrative regulations regarding student hazing. 
             
            6. District policies and administrative regulations regarding student discipline. 
             
            7. District policies and administrative regulations regarding drugs, alcohol and tobacco. 
             
            8. District policies and administrative regulations regarding the accommodation of special needs students in 22 Pennsylvania Code Chapter 14.

          3. ValueThe time commitment you give as a volunteer is up to you. There are many daytime and evening events which require different levels of hands-on help. This website will soon reflect that information for you on the specific committee pages. You may also contact the chairperson(s) of the committee you may be interested in for further information; use the [HSA Directory][15]. 
             
            There are many ways to get involved as a volunteer at Beaumont! 
             
            Parents can get involved in the classroom, library, or school office. You can assist teachers in putting student artwork in hallways, re-shelving library books, and helping with the track and field activities for Field Day in June. These are excellent oportunities to familiarize yourself with the school, staff, and students. For more information, contact your child's teacher, Mrs. Haltiwanger (<haltiwangerd@tesd.net> or 610.240.1405) in the library, or Mrs. Toland (<tolandl@tesd.net> or 610.240.1403) in the school office. You may also contact special area teachers directly. 
             
            Parents can get involved in the activities and programs of the HSA. Volunteer sign-up forms are available at the beginning of the year in the Opening Week Packet. Sign-up forms are also available throughout the year in the school office or can be obtained [here][16]. 
             
            You may also contact any committee chairperson (see [HSA Directory][17]) for more information regarding a specific committee. 
             
            Be sure to review the T/E School District [Volunteer Guidelines][18] if you will be volunteering in any capacity at the school or HSA.
