Bellerive Bulletin
September 28, 2025
Dear Bellerive Families,
Thank you for rolling with last Monday’s surprise power outage and unexpected school closure. While I know it was probably a day of joy for the kids, I also recognize the disruption it may have caused to your schedules. I truly appreciate your flexibility and understanding. We’re glad the rest of the week unfolded smoothly.
This week brings a number of important deadlines for sign-ups, purchases, and more for clubs, spirit wear, flu shots, and book orders. One important item is Culture Night. We’re still looking for additional families to help host tables and share their traditions. All the details can be found below.
This week we turn the calendar to October, and with colder weather on the way, students will be bringing more coats, sweatshirts, and layers to school. I came across a post on social media and thought you’d appreciate it too. It's a great reminder to please take a moment to label your child’s clothing. If it’s not a base layer (meaning it can be taken off during the school day), labeling helps us reunite items with their owners much more easily! I highly recommend using a permanent marker or a fabric pen like this one. Buying a fabric pen or marker could be a great investment compared to replacing clothing items!
In Partnership,
Joey Kneer
Bellerive is excited to bring back before school clubs. Each student may select the clubs they would like to join. Click HERE to learn more about what clubs are being offered each day.
All students will be allowed to participate in at least one club, so please rank the club choices in order of preference. Please complete this online form or turn in the paper copy by Monday, September 29th.
Clubs will begin the week of October 13th and will end the week of February 23rd. They start at 8:00 am. Transportation is not provided for clubs, and students may not be dropped off prior to 7:55 am. There will be NO clubs the week of Parent-Teacher Conferences (November 3rd - November 7th).
These are optional and transportation will not be provided.

PTO Party Presenter
After the parade, the PTO is sponsoring a special assembly for the annual fall party. Serengeti Steve will present "The Reptile Experience" for all students. This was a huge hit at my previous school! Click here for more information about the presenter. If you would like to opt out your child, please email me at mkneer@parkwayschools.net. Thank you, PTO, for providing this opportunity for Bellerive students!
