Community Council

Welcome to our schools Community Council.

The Community Council plays an important role in all schools throughout the valley. The purpose of the Community Council is to promote student achievement where parents, educators and administrators work together to address important academic needs of the school. Together, council members analyze data, identify needs, and set goals for Beehive Elementary in literacy and numeracy. This provides accountability to the community and future success of all students.

Meetings are open to the public and will be held face to face with a virtual option. If you are interested, we invite you to join us in the school Conference room or call the school to get our Google Meet code!

Council Members

Council Members are chosen by election and are a mixture of school staff and community members. Candidacy and election procedures begin before each school year.

Invitation to serve on the council: We warmly invite parents to serve on our school's community council. Information about council vacancies, declarations of candidacy forms, and elections are emailed sent out in August of each year.

Serving on the Community Council allows parents to directly influence the way LAND Trust funds are used during the school year, which can include programs, materials, and other education-based solutions.
