Transportation
Car riders and walk-up students will be provided tags to place in your car or carry with you to pick up your child. A car rider form will need to be completed and turned in to your child's homeroom teacher to receive these tags. These forms will be available at Meet the Teacher Night and are always available in our front office.
Any transportation changes must be completed in writing and provided to your child's homeroom teacher.
School Fees
Our school fees for the 2023-2024 school year total $25.00 for the county's required technology assessment.
You are encouraged to pay these fees as soon as possible, and we will send reminders home periodically if they are left unpaid. You may pay your child's fees with cash or check made payable to Bell Fork Elementary. You may also pay them online through SchoolCash by clicking here.
School Meals
The cost for breakfast is $1.25 and lunch is $2.50. You may send in money with your child, or you may pay online by clicking here.
If you would like to have lunch with your child, please let your child's homeroom teacher know at least a day in advance. We will then notify the office so you will be allowed to sign in and join your child.
