Principal's Paragraphs
Hello Belair Bulldogs!
It's the most wonderful time of the year! Did you know your generosity from Coins for a Cause, PTA, Oasis United Church of Christ, and Operation Toy helped us adopt 25 Belair kids for Christmas! Thank you so much!
We are one school week away from being half way through our school year! WOW! Keep your child's progress moving forward over break by spending a little bit of time each day reading and practicing math facts! If you spend 20-30 minutes each day of break, you will be ready to rock 2020! Second quarter grade cards will be coming home January 15.
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 91.3% 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!
We are excited about all the learning that will take place in the new year!
Have a wonderful break with your families!
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.
