From the Principal
We had a great week at Belton Elementary School!
Our students enjoyed a play performed by PorkChop Productions! The play was the story of a fisherman and his wife. The fisherman and his wife had to learn the hard way when they caught a fish who promised to grant them three wishes, if they would set him free. The story "addresses the themes of greed, keeping your word and being happy with the things you have...and not dwelling on the things you don't."
Have a great weekend!

New Middle School Information
Our two current middle schools in the district have some significant financial challenges. The district is proposing the possibility of building a new middle school for Belton and Honea Path students to occupy in 2027-2028. Here is a link for some clarifying information - Building For Tomorrow

Reminders
Transportation Change
You must call the office if you need to change the transportation for how your child normally gets home. Messaging the teacher on Class Dojo will not work because teachers will most likely not see your message until students are already gone.
Breakfast
If your child is a car rider and would like to eat breakfast at school, please be sure to get them to school as early as possible to give them plenty of time to eat. The hot breakfast line ends at 7:35am. I would suggest getting your child to school before 7:30am to ensure they are getting a hot breakfast, and are not rushed.
Tardy Bell
The tardy bell will ring at 7:45am. Students must be in their classroom by 7:45am in order to not be tardy. Parents must park and walk their child in if they are tardy.
Early Dismissal
Students will not be allowed to be dismissed from class after 2:00pm without administrator approval. Please plan doctor appointments accordingly.
Free Lunch
Breakfast and Lunch are free for all of our students this year!
