Public Notices
Beachwood Schools will communicate with parents, students and our citizens as often as we can on a variety of important issues. Among those issues are the following, which we believe will assist students and parents in understanding how we protect and respond to student matters of rights and privacy and options that are available to parents in supporting their child’s education. If you have questions or need further information on any of these issues, please contact your child’s principal or the Department of Pupil Services.
