A Message from the PrincipalHello BVES Families,
As we kick off a very busy month at Belle View, I would like to take a moment to share that your students will be learning about Hispanic Heritage Month and the contribution that many Latinos have brought to our culture, arts, music, sports, and politics.
Thank you to all who were able to attend our October PTA meeting, we were lucky to have Ms. Sheckels share about the SEL (Social Emotional Learning) curriculum and her plans for Unity Day on October 16th.
October and November also kick off the start of parent-teacher conferences. Your child's teacher will send out sign up links for conference. We welcome those conversations to discuss student growth and progress, behavior and effort concerns or celebrations and quarterly assessments.
Also, next Monday, October 14th is a student holiday. Staff will be having a staff development day.
Proud Principal,
Katie Pluntke
