BackSnacks and Giving the Basics
The Belton School District and Cambridge are partnering with Harvester’s again to supply BackSnacks to families in need. BackSnacks are bags of extra food items that go home once a week to help supplement weekend meals for students and families.
Cambridge also partners with Giving the Basics to help supply families in need by providing basic personal hygiene items. These items are shipped to the school and distributed from the Counselor’s office.
If you family has a need for these resources, please reach out to Mrs. Keri Wardlow whose number is (816) 348-1008.
Health and Wellness
The Belton School District Board of Education adopted a district Wellness Program to promote student health, facilitate student learning of lifelong healthy habits, and increase student achievement (Board policy ADF).

Treats & Gifts
The Belton School District prohibits treats being sent in for birthdays and other celebrations in your child's classroom to maintain safe environments for students and staff with specific allergies.
