Belleville School #9 Newsletter

🌟 At School Number 9, our goal is to provide every student with a safe, supportive, and engaging learning environment where they can grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Strong relationships, high expectations, mutual respect, and open communication help our students succeed.

🕣 Now that we are into October, please continue to make daily attendance and on-time arrival a priority. Doors open each morning at 8:15 a.m., and students must arrive no later than 8:35 a.m. Arriving late means missing valuable instruction and can disrupt classroom learning.

🏫 Students are also expected to remain in school until the end of the day. Please refrain from picking up your child early unless it is absolutely necessary. Early pickups interrupt learning and cause students to miss instruction. Every part of the school day matters!

☎️ If your child will be absent, please call the School 9 Main Office by 9:00 a.m. at 973-450-3500, extension 3902, to report the absence.

🤝 Parents and guardians are essential partners in their children’s education. Please stay involved and connected through our school communications, website, and social media.

💙💛 Families are also encouraged to join the School 9 PTA and support our students, staff, and school community!

⭐ Thank you for helping us build a strong and united School 9 community throughout the 2026–2027 school year. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. Our doors are always open!
