Please be sure to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothing for recess.

Please label your child's jacket, gloves, hat, etc. whenever possible. It helps us return items to their owner if they end up in lost & found.

The For Families diagnostic results report is easily accessible from your child’s i-Ready dashboard. In lieu of being backpacked home, this will be considered the primary method for providing these results to you. Please click the button for directions on how to access the report.

Please note: The code for accessing reports is only good for the current school year. Once the school year is over the code no longer works, so please print or download your student’s report

as soon as possible.

Last month, students had the opportunity to purchase several experiences with their BG Bucks. Thank you to Mrs. DiChiara for providing yet another fantastic Taekwondo experience to our BG students.

Do you have left over party favors or random items in your junk drawer? Please consider donating items to Bell Graham for our first interactive student bulletin board. Place them in the donation box outside of Dr. Dieckman's office.

Thank you for your donations!

You can email your child's teacher directly from HAC. After logging in, click on the "classes" image on the top menu. You will be able to view your child's schedule. Each of your child's teachers are listed under "teacher." If you right click on a name, you are given a "copy email address" option.

Our lost & found is conveniently located in the lunch room where every student has a daily opportunity to look for lost items. Please encourage your child to check for misplaced items. Don't forget to label as much as possible. We regularly donate unclaimed items.

We appreciate our volunteers and value your time. When you are in the building for any reason, please be respectful of classroom instruction and do not make unexpected visits to your child's classroom. Thank you for helping us minimize classroom disruptions.
