At Bedford Heights Elementary, we pride ourselves in providing positive and enriching experiences for our students, faculty and staff, however, we cannot accomplish this without many hearts and hands working together! Please consider volunteering at the school, even if all you have is 30 minutes...there is no amount of time that is too small or unappreciated. We have many opportunities for you to assist the school and PTA.

All volunteers in the H-E-B ISD have to have an annual background check completed.  Background checks for all of our volunteers need to be done using the current, more comprehensive, system.

Parents that are interested in being a chaperone on their child’s field trip should complete one of the Volunteer Background Checks.  Only parents that have current Background Checks will be eligible for the drawings to be a grade level chaperone for a field trip!

BEDFORD HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL and Clothes Bin® have partnered to collect and recycle old clothing, shoes and textiles! So, please do not throw them away! Just place the items in the green recycling bin in our parking lot.  Every pound of recycled items supports our school! 

Below is a list of items that can be placed in our bin:

​

Clothing:  pants, jeans, skirts, dresses, suits, shorts, shirts, tees, tanks 
Footwear:  shoes, boots, heels, sneakers, sandals, socks, tights 
Undergarments:  bras, underwear, slips, camisoles

​

As you clean out the old and bring in the new, you can help the environment and Bedford Heights Elementary too! 
 

The ability to monitor a student’s grades and any assignment information can now be securely viewed from an Internet Browser at home or office through our Grade Access feature.  This secured access requires an Internet connection and a confidential user name and password issued to the parent/guardian by the school.

​

An additional feature is an e-mail notification system.  Parents have the flexibility of choosing which report or notifications they would like to receive and how often they would like to receive them.

We hope you take advantage of another way to help with your child’s academic success.

We ask that all interested parents come to the Bedford Heights office to sign-up.  Grade Access will should be available beginning this week.  Thanks for your patience as we begin this service!

** Grade Access is not available to families of Kindergarten or 1st grade students due to the unique report cards and grading in those grade levels.
