This is Mrs. Beaird's 7th year at the Charter School. She has taught first 
and second grades.  Before that, she taught first grade at Dixie Canyon 
Elementary in Los Angeles for 3 years. She graduated from CSUN with a degree

Mrs. Beaird is a recent college graduate as well. On Sept. 4, 2009, Cal Poly

The Beaird family is very happy to be living on the Central Coast. She lives 
in Arroyo Grande with her husband, daughter and son. They have two dogs 
named Freckles and Scooby.  They made the move from the San 
Fernando Valley in Los Angeles to enjoy the lifestyle of a smaller 
community.  

When she is not teaching, Mrs. Beaird likes to spend time with her family 
and friends.  You can find her on the sidelines of a soceer field watching 
her daughter, Tayler, play soccer(Go Madrid!),at the BMX track cheering for
her son Clay, working in her garden at home, 
exercising or maybe relaxing at the beach.

Mission For The Class

My goal for all students is to enjoy learning and to strive to achieve 
knowledge.  I believe in teaching by asking questions, showing examples and 
having students explore learning.
