Welcome to BECKFORD!!!
2022-2023 school year
A new school year is upon us once again! As principal of Beckford Charter for Enriched Studies, I would like to welcome back our returning students and families and hope you all had an enjoyable summer. To our new students and families who have recently joined Beckford, a heartfelt welcome.
To all our families, returning and new, I look forward to working with you and your children as we provide an enriching learning environment for all of our students. We believe it is important for the home and school to work together to provide a quality education for each and every one of our students. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our children.
Respectfully,
Shelly Brower
This is an update regarding the 2022-23 school year. The Los Angeles Unified Board of Education recently approved a revised Instructional Calendar for the 2022-23 school year.
Please note that Wednesday, Oct. 19 is now a required school day for students and school personnel.
Additional required school days are Wednesday, Dec. 7, Wednesday, March 15 and Wednesday, April 19.
A second update made to the calendar includes the 2022-23 school year ending on June 9, 2023.
Winter Recess remains scheduled for Dec. 19, 2022 through Jan. 6, 2023, and the second semester will still begin on Jan. 9, 2023. Please visit achieve.lausd.net/calendar for more information.
The revised calendar will continue to include the optional Acceleration Days, which will offer additional academic support and enrichment opportunities. The first two Acceleration Days will be held at the start of winter break on Dec. 19-20, 2022. The remaining Acceleration Days will be offered at the start of spring break on April 3-4, 2023.
Acceleration Days are designed to help address learning loss associated with the pandemic. Face-to-face instruction is a critical element of student success. For more information on Acceleration Days, please visit achieve.lausd.net/acceleration days. We will also share more information about our school community’s offerings closer to the end of the semester.
We understand this change in the calendar may cause some changes in your family’s plans. We appreciate your patience and collaboration.
See you in school on Wednesday, Oct. 19!
