Tournament Hills Elementary School Handbook

Lasted Updated: 2026

Arrival and Departures

Please refer to your child’s bell schedule for our official instructional start and end times. Morning supervision times may vary by grade level and also provide students the opportunity to receive a free breakfast. Students should be picked up promptly at their designated dismissal time unless they are participating in a scheduled after-school program. For details, please review the daily bell schedule available on our school website. If you need to inform your child’s teacher of changes in their pick-up, please call the office at least one hour prior to dismissal. Messages received close to the end of the school day may not reach the teacher in time due to other activities. Please ensure that anyone listed as a contact on the emergency card in Aeries is authorized to pick up your child. Under "Authorized Pick-Up Person," please select "Y" if the contact is authorized to pick up your child from school. Only individuals marked with a "Y" as an authorized pick-up person will be allowed to take students from campus.

Attendance and Tardies

Our school attendance goal is at least 96% for the school year!
School attendance is mandated by statute, bylaws, and regulations of the State of California and the Governing Board of the Beaumont Unified School District (BP 5113).
 
The school has the responsibility to enforce all attendance policies, which ensure regular attendance and punctuality. For an absence to be cleared, a parent/guardian must call the office, send a ParentSquare message to the health/Attendance clerk, or email within three days to inform the school of the student’s absence.
 
Parent notes will only be accepted for the first 10 absences. After 10 absences, a doctor’s note or school site verification may be required. According to the California Compulsory Attendance Law, an absence is excusable for the following reasons only:
  1. Illness
  2. Quarantine directed by a county or city health officer
  3. Having medical, dental, or vision services rendered
  4. Attending funeral services of a member of the pupil’s immediate family
  5. Student attendance in court
When a student accumulates absences, whether excused or unexcused, under the district attendance procedure, the following interventions may occur:
  1. 3, 6, or 9 unexcused absences - Parent/Guardian receives written communication from the school. Attendance Clerk may conference with the parent.
  2. 10 or more absences - Parent/guardian receives additional written communication from the school. Other options may include but are not limited to:
    1. A scheduled conference with the School Attendance Review Team (SART).
    2. Referral to the district’s School Attendance Review Board (SARB).
    3. Attend an Educational Monitoring Team (EMT) meeting
    4. Revoke of intra/inter-district transfer.
Please note: Tardies/ Early Outs - 3 tardies and/or early outs equal one absence.
 
Makeup work will be the responsibility of the parent and student. Please immediately ask the teacher for missed work upon returning from an absence.
 
Independent Study
An Independent Study contract may be approved for students who plan to miss between 3-15 days per school year. Contact the Attendance Office at least 2 weeks in advance. All contracts must be approved by the principal. Note* - Independent Study will not be approved during state testing.
 
ATTENDANCE INCENTIVES
Weekly and monthly incentives will be provided for grade levels and individual classes.
 
TARDIES:
  • A student is tardy if s/he arrives at school after the bell rings for their scheduled instructional start time.
  • Three tardies in excess of 30 minutes without a valid excuse will be counted as truancy.
  • Tardies that result in truancies may be referred to the SARB board for review.
 
Early Outs:
Parents must come into the office to sign their student out for medical, dental, or other kinds of appointments that require them to leave school early. Office personnel will verify that you are authorized to pick up the child and will call students up to the office for pick up. If possible, medical and dental appointments should be scheduled after school. Please remember that picking up your student early from school can disrupt not only their learning but also the flow of instruction for the entire class. We kindly ask that early dismissals be limited to emergencies or unavoidable situations.
 
Please note: 3 Early Outs equal one absence.
 
Please review your child’s emergency card. Please ensure that anyone listed as a contact on the emergency card in Aeries is authorized to pick up your child. Under "Authorized Pick-Up Person," please select "Y" if the contact is authorized to pick up your child from school. Only individuals marked with a "Y" as an authorized pick-up person will be allowed to take students from campus.
 
If there is a custody issue, please notify the school office immediately and bring a copy of the most recent stamped court orders. If a court order is not on file, both parents are assumed to have equal rights.

  • In an overall effort to keep your student safe, all visitors and volunteers need to sign in through the Raptor system (please have your ID ready). When you leave the school, please make sure you check out in the office through the Raptor system. It is an important safety precaution so the office staff can identify and locate anyone on the school campus when classes are in session.

  • Volunteers must be under the supervision of a Certificated employee at all times.

Student Support Meetings (IEP, 504, EMT)

To support effective planning and ensure the appropriate staff can be present, our school follows a general scheduling structure for student support meetings:
 
IEP meetings are typically scheduled on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 504 and EMT (Educational Monitoring Team) meetings are generally scheduled on Wednesdays.
 
This structure allows our educational specialists, general education teachers, service providers, and administrators to be available consistently for meaningful, collaborative conversations. It also supports timely completion of required documentation and follow-up services.
 
We understand that family availability may vary. If the designated days present a challenge, we encourage parents/guardians to reach out as early as possible so we can explore alternative scheduling options. While we strive to follow the above structure, our goal is to work in partnership with families to ensure students receive the support they need.

Drills and Emergencies

Monthly emergency protocol practice drills (e.g. earthquake, fire drill, hold and secure, on alert, and lock down) are conducted according to the Tournament Hills and Beaumont Unified School District’s disaster plans. It is important that all students and staff understand what to do in an emergency. Teachers will instruct students regarding specific procedures and necessary safety precautions. In the event of an emergency, every attempt will be made to contact the parents if a student requires immediate medical attention. Each student must have their emergency contact information updated in the Aeries Parent Portal so the school has the necessary information to make the proper contacts. In the event of an emergency, only the person(s) listed on the emergency card and marked as an authorized pickup person will be allowed to take students from campus.

Change of Address/Telephone Number

Parents/ Guardians who move or change telephone numbers should inform the Attendance Office as soon as possible.

Parent volunteers for study trips are encouraged and should be discussed with your student’s teacher prior to the day of the field trip. All parent volunteers, including study trip/field trip chaperones, must be approved prior to volunteering with students. This procedure takes time, requires fingerprinting and TB tests, and must be completed in advance of any study trip/field trip.

Classes are scheduled to use the library on a regular basis and students are encouraged to check out books. Library books must be returned or renewed by the next week. Students are responsible for the book(s) they borrow from school. As the parent/guardian, you will be responsible for damaged or lost books.
