Bellville Elementary Newsletter
April and May 2022
It is so hard to believe how quickly this school year has gone! In the blink of an eye May will be here and the 2021-2022 school year will be coming to an end. Thank you so much for all of the support you have given your child(ren) throughout the year!
There are many different activities scheduled for the remainder of the year, so please make sure you look at the Dates to Remember, and check your child's folder frequently for any notes being sent home from school.
As we look toward next year, class lists will be posted on August 5th, and I have attached the new school calendar in the newsletter. I hope you have a great summer making memories and we will see all of you in August!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Swank, Principal
