Save the Date!! We have a plan for the 2022 Bulldog Dash!! We'll be celebrating Dash Day on Wednesday, September 21st! That's the day that begins at 10:45am due to the district late-start plan. Every grade level will have a specific time to run and as parents, you will be invited to either volunteer (we celebrate each lap with a rubber bracelet), participate with your child, or just stand back and watch.

Bulldog Dash Schedule:

11:00-11:40, 4th Grade

11:40-12:20, 5th Grade

1:00-1:40, 2nd Grade

1:40-2:20, 1st Grade

2:20-2:50, Kindergarten

2:50-3:30, 3rd Grade

We are looking for volunteers to help with the organization of the Dash! It's a wonderful tradition at Belmont, but there are several moving parts! Watch for a volunteer/participant sign up next week. In the meantime, if you are available all day and want to be a super volunteer, email pto@belmontpto.com or just reply to this email to let someone know you want to be a Dash Hero!

The Belmont Elementary Site Council meets four times yearly and participates as an advisory council with liaison expectations in the community. As a committee, we have no actual authority, however, the Kansas State Board of Education, through Kansas legislation, requires schools to solicit feedback from their stakeholders. This group of individuals comes together to better understand the goals and functions of each school community. Last year, our Site Council had plans to host multiple incredible parent education events, but in light of safety measures, ended up launching the ReSiLiEnCy PrOjEcT, which you will find on our school website. After all, this parenting thing is HARD and we can all use a little advice now and then! If you'd like to be a part of our Site Council, please email me ASAP! We will meet (virtually for now) from 4:30-5:15pm on October 3rd, December 5th, February 6th, and April 3rd.

Every student will have their picture taken to be included in our school yearbook on Tuesday, September 20. If parents would like to order printed school pictures, it's easy to order online using the information below.
