Bellerive Bulletin
August 16, 2026
Dear Bellerive Families,
We were excited to see so many of you at Popsicles on the Playground last week. It was wonderful to reconnect with our Bellerive leaders and see their enthusiasm for the new school year.
This week, contractors will put the final touches on the building and grounds as the renovations funded through Prop S come to a close. Meanwhile, our teachers and staff are preparing to launch an exciting year of “Leading Across the Galaxy!”
We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events. All the details are below!
In partnership,
Joey Kneer, Ed.D.

Instruction on the viola, cello, and bass are new instrumental options in addition to the violin in the 4th and 5th grades. Our 4th and 5th grade string curriculum builds on the previous year's instruction.

The School Nurse's main goal is to keep our students healthy, safe, and ready to learn. To help us get off to a smooth and healthy start, here are a few quick but important reminders from our school nurse:
Health Forms & Immunizations: Please ensure all updated immunization records and medical forms are submitted before the first day of school. Keeping these up to date ensures your child doesn't miss any valuable class time.
Health Updates: If your child had a change in their health status over the summer—such as a new diagnosis, severe allergy, surgery, or new medication—please reach out to the nurse directly so we can develop a plan of care for your child.
Get a head start on the school year! If you are new to Bellerive or haven't utilized this convenient resource previously, please link the Bellerive school calendar to your personal calendar (Outlook, Google Calendar, iCalendar, etc.) to receive automatic updates and have quick access to school events.
Back-to-school dates are already listed and additional dates are coming soon!
