Principal's Paragraphs
Hello Belair Bulldogs!
Anyone else glad that January is almost over? What a long and crazy month of weather!
We completed a week of kind acts during The Great Kindness Challenge! Our students worked hard on their kindness checklists! Many performed kind deeds at school and at home! Kindness makes the world go round.
Good attendance plays a big role in student success. When students arrive late, leave early, or miss days due to reasons other than illness, it can impact their learning. Our goal is an attendance rate of over 90% for all students. Our current attendance rate is 89.8% With that in mind, if your child has a fever, vomits, or has diarrhea, our district policy is that they are to stay home symptom-free without medicine for 24 hours. Help keep our students and teachers from getting sick!
February brings our last holiday party with Valentine's Day! Some teachers celebrate with a party and some do not. Please check with your child's teacher before buying or sending in Valentine's or party supplies.
Remember, school begins at 7:45! Students who arrive at 7:45 or after are considered tardy and need a parent to sign them in at the office.
Parents often ask "how can I help my child?" One simple way is to read every night! You can read to your child or your child can read to you. They can read books they bring home from the library, or books you have at home. They can read to a stuffed animal friend, or read to an older or younger sibling. Set a time where everyone in the house stops, drops, and reads for 20 minutes. It will make a world of difference!
Thank you for supporting our school!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Milhollin
Principal

Want to be a Watch D.O.G.S.?
If you are a father or father-figure, we want your help to make a positive impact. Consider joining the Watch D.O.G.S. team at Belair Elementary School.
What are Watch D.O.G.S.?
Watch D.O.G.S (Dads of Great Students) is a family and community engagement program. Goal of the program is to demonstrate a positive male role model for students and help educators in a local school.
What will it involve? Volunteering some of your time during the school year. Goal is to find an event or day to volunteer in the school year, but you are more than welcome to volunteer as much as you want. Examples could include:
Help with activities and registration at Belair STEM and Literacy night events.
Supervise/encourage students at the Ninja Warrior Belair PTA fundraiser at Capitol Cheer.
Help with Belair field days or award assemblies.
Pick a normal school day and volunteer for a half or full day. During the day, you may read books to students, help with educational activities, play at recess and P.E, eat lunch with your child/their class, assist with traffic flow and any other activities where you actively engage with students.
