Parents and Students:

We would like to remind everyone of some general safety tips as students are coming to and from school.  We encourage students to call 911 immediately if they feel in danger as they are traveling to and from school.  

Student Safety Reminders:

• Students should always be aware of their surrounding, especially when walking or waiting alone
• Do not walk alone but walk in groups of two or more
• Never get into a vehicle with a stranger-fight, shout, scream, kick, bite, run and tell
• Never take anything a stranger offer you-do not accept candy, food or money from a stranger
• Do not walk alone in the dark
• Stay away from lonely places-do not go alone into deserted buildings, empty parking lots or places where there are few people around
• Remain on school grounds during school hours
• Immediately tell responsible adults/school officials about any suspicious activities or people encountered to or from school and give as many details as possible

Student safety is a top priority in Beaumont Unified School District and we appreciate your help in creating a safe learning environment and community.

We have created a culture of high expectations for student development.  We are committed to students’ present and future achievement, success and well-being through the shared responsibility of teachers, parents, staff and community.

Since the beginning of the school year the staff at Tournament Hills has been working closely with the Beaumont Police Department to ensure the safety of our students, parents and staff during drop off and dismissal. Starting on Wednesday, January 30^ththe median opening on Champions Drive will be barricaded.  There will be no left turns in or out of the parking lot at drop off or dismissal.  All cars will exit the parking lot making a right hand turn.  It is our goal to ensure the safety of our students, parents and staff and improve the flow of traffic.

Thank you for your cooperation.

We understand that everyone is in a hurry and your lives are chaotic but we still need to remember that the number one priority is the safety of the students. We ask that you follow a few simple rules that will ensure the safety of ALL students: It is important that the crosswalk and sidewalk are not blocked at any time.  The yellow curb is for pick-up and drop off only. Do not park your car or leave your car unattended along the yellow curb.  When pulling up to the front of the school pull forward to the yellow box painted on the sidewalk.  Students will not be permitted to run down to your car.  For the safety of all drivers please stay in the “Pull Forward Line”.  Do not take car cuts.  The inner circle of traffic must continue moving.  Cars in the inner circle will be asked to continue looping around.  Out of respect to the residents of Tournament Hills you will be asked to loop around if you are going to block Champions Drive. 

We have worked hand in hand with the Beaumont Police Department and the Fire Marshall in making the traffic situation at Tournament Hills the best and safest possible situation.  My request of you…please DO NOT ignore or be rude to the school staff during drop off or dismissal. Please be aware of our school staff and listen to their directions.  Please be respectful of their efforts and we will do our best to get you through safely and quickly.  We all appreciate your cooperation.

Our students and teachers have such a limited amount of instructional time each day and out of respect for that time parents will no longer be able to go to the classrooms to talk to their child, deliver a lunch, drop off homework, etc.  These types of interruptions impact the learning of all children in that classroom.  If you have homework, lunch, etc. to drop off you will need to leave it with the front office staff.   If you plan on volunteering please schedule a time with your child’s teacher so the teacher can have materials prepared for you so there are limited interruptions in instructional time.  Thank you for your cooperation.
