Elementary:
- Mr. Huber’s class wrapped up a lively and memorable science project featuring erupting volcanoes and excitement. Students had the chance to build their own models, observe reactions, and connect key science concepts to hands-on exploration.
- We’re excited to extend a huge shout-out to our two newest paraprofessionals, Thomas and Kayin! Both of them are qualified substitutes who have been stepping in wherever needed, always ready to lend a helping hand and fill any role that comes their way.
- A much deserved shoutout goes to our department leads. Ms. VandenHeuvel, Mrs. Rose, and Mrs. Rugg consistently go above and beyond to support our PBIS, Math, and Literacy teams—ensuring everyone has the tools, structure, and guidance needed for success.
- Our very first Chocolate Walkolate in celebration of an incredible achievement in Mr. Curtis’ room with 150 AR books read and passed. As we took our celebratory walk, hot chocolates in hand, the smiles said it all. The sense of pride, accomplishment, and joy radiating from the students made the moment truly special.
Jr/Sr:
The BBBC concert on December 6th had a special connection to our community school as one of our senior trumpet players, Braydon Denton, joined them for a selection.
Thank you to the Bellevue Community for packing the auditorium at last night's annual Winter Concert: Home for the Holidays! It was a full house and with lots of holiday cheer. The band concluded the week by participating int he Christmas parade.
The Jr/Sr High School will be going on their annual bowling trip as a school on Monday, December 15th. This is part of our PBIS celebrations.
Our high school band will be spreading some holiday cheer with a brief Christmas performance on December 17th from 2:30–2:50 p.m. at the elementary.
Please consider participating in the Christmas Blanket Drive by our NHS to be donated to Battle Creek's Shared Center for the homeless.
- Our NHS students spent last Saturday ringing the bells outside Hobby Lobby, and their two hours of volunteering made a big impact — they raised $234.62 for the Salvation Army! We’re so proud of their generosity, spirit, and commitment to serving our community.
- We want to recognize the first four nominations for our Unsung Hero initiative to recognize those who constantly go above and beyond for our students, staff, and district. You make a difference. Thank you for being you and impact the youth of Bellevue Community schools: Jayda Amsink and Kami Boyd!

Hi everyone,
As we wrap up another week, I want to say thank you. Every day, I’m reminded how fortunate we are to have a community that supports one another, whether in the classroom, on the field, in our offices, or behind the scenes, keeping things running smoothly.
A lot is happening this time of year, and I appreciate the way our staff continues to support students with patience, consistency, and care. To our families and community members: your encouragement and partnership make all the difference.
Let’s head into the weekend proud of the work we’ve done and ready to recharge. I hope everyone has a chance to rest, enjoy time with family and friends, and return refreshed for another strong week ahead.
Thanks again for everything you do for our kids and for Bellevue.
Have a great weekend!

Winter Weather Decisions
Winter weather will arrive, and I want to share the key factors we consider when deciding whether to close schools, delay work, or cancel activities due to severe weather.
Our top priority is always the safety and well-being of our students, staff, and families. Understanding the “why” behind these decisions is essential to keeping everyone informed and prepared. When deciding to close schools, we assess the safety of students and staff traveling by bus, car, or on foot. We also consider the severity of the weather, such as extreme cold, snow, or ice conditions, and the timing of weather events, whether they occur overnight or throughout the day.
During severe weather events, the Superintendent and the Director of Transportation closely monitor weather forecasts, including updates from the National Weather Service. To ensure a comprehensive understanding of regional conditions, we also consult with superintendents and transportation directors from our area.
When a decision is made, we strive to notify our Bronco families, students, and staff as quickly as possible. If you are not receiving calls or emails from the district, please contact your student's school to be sure we have updated information.
Thank you for your understanding as we navigate the winter season together.
