Dear Belle View Families,
Although it was a short week, it was filled with energy, progress, and great community engagement!
Ms. Lehner and I visited several classrooms for our annual Student Rights and Responsibilities presentations. During these visits, we reviewed core school rules and district policies, focusing on expectations for cell phone use, punctuality, and positive behavior in the hallways, classrooms, cafeteria, and during field trips.
Additionally, many of our upper-grade students began their initial MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) and i-Ready assessments. These beginning-of-the-year assessments provide crucial insights that allow our teachers to tailor instruction during our daily "Bobcat Block"—ensuring every student receives targeted review, remediation, or enrichment based on their individual needs.
We also hosted our first PTA meeting of the school year, welcoming over 25 parents and guardians both in person and online. Thanks to that fantastic turnout, we successfully approved this year's budget and outlined our upcoming fundraising goals. Keep an eye out next week for details about our annual Fun Run—our largest fundraiser of the year —with an ambitious goal of raising $35,000 to support our school programs!
Thank you all for a wonderful start to the year. Wishing everyone a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable Labor Day weekend!
I look forward to seeing you around the View! |
