Bellville Elementary Newsletter
August 24, 2020 Device Pick Up and Information

Device Pick Up for ALL Students!
WHO: ALL Bellville Elementary Students, both remote learners and in person
WHAT: In person learners will pick up their devices and drop off school supplies. Remote learners will pick up their device and all other materials they will need to begin remote learning on August 31st.
BRING: In person learners, please bring a bag/box/crate of your school supplies during device pick up to leave at the school labeled with your child's name and teacher's name. These will be delivered to your child's classroom so they do not need to carry everything in on the first day of school.
WHY: If Richland County would be in purple, or Governor DeWine makes a change regarding schools, all students would have their devices to begin remote learning on Monday, August 31st.
WHERE: We will be doing a drive through at the rear of Bellville Elementary. Parents will not exit their vehicles or park in a parking place. We will be using the same procedures as we did in March 2020 with material pick up.
All students K-5 will begin school on Monday, August 31, 2020.
