Athletes Who Read - We are very excited to partner with Anderson University Athletics to host "Athletes Who Read" on Tuesday, September 23. We will have athletes from various sports coming to read with our students. To show our appreciation for spending time with us, we are encouraging our school to wear black and gold.

Grades - The end of the first nine weeks is quickly approaching. Stay in "real time" with your child's grades by downloading the Parent Portal app. (See below for more info)

Have a great weekend!

We’re thrilled for this year’s main fundraiser — Belton Elementary Fun Run! Our goal is to raise $8,000 to benefit our students at Belton Elementary.

Why are we excited?

✅ Easy-to-use fundraising platform

✅ Character-building program

✅ Fitness celebration event for every student!

Families will gather donations through MyBooster.com by simply sharing your student’s page with friends and family. Every share makes a difference! Students will also enjoy 'Star Quest 5,' an exciting character-building adventure where they'll learn important values through space-themed figures and activities.

We would love to have you join your child for lunch during their lunch time. You are more than welcomed to bring in food from the outside as well! If you do decide to eat school lunch, the cost is $6. You can pay in the cafeteria when you arrive. It must be exact change and in cash.

Did you know that you are able to see your child's grades as soon as it is entered into the gradebook by the teacher? It is so important that you are able to see this along the way in order for your child to succeed. Download the PowerSchool App today to receive grade notifications!

Here are the steps to get signed back up in case you got logged out.

1. Parents who've created an account, but unable to login should contact the PowerSchool Helpdesk. Provide your name, your child's name, and a contact phone number where you can be reached when emailing.

If you have not paid your school fees, please go to myschoolbucks.com to take care of that. The charge is $20. Students will not be allowed to go on their Fall Field Trip without these fees being paid. If you have any questions, feel free to call Mrs. KB at our front office.

PTO wants to invite you to "Paint the Rock" for your child's special occasions (birthday, sports/dance tournament, etc.) The cost is $20 per day. All the details and to register are in the link. Reserve your date so that it does not get filled up!

Tardy - To be considered on time, the child must be sitting in their classroom at 7:45am. At 7:45am, our front door locks. The parent/guardian/driver will be expected to park their car and sign their child in at this point. Officer Hodges, our School Resource Officer, will be there to remind whoever is dropping off your child. Our instruction begins at 7:45am, so being late for school results in loss of instruction.

Early Dismissal - Students will not be allowed to be dismissed between 2:00-2:30pm for Early Dismissal. Please plan to pick your child up before then, if you have a doctor's appointment. Repeated Early Dismissals could result in an Attendance Plan.

Absences - It is imperative that your child is at school. We have a new system, and will be monitoring attendance very closely. You are allowed to turn in up to 5 Parent Notes to cover an unexcused absence. An example of a Parent Note would be a low grade fever, throwing up, etc. If you take your child to the doctor, please be sure to turn in the medical note. A student is considered truant with 3 consecutive absences or 5 unlawful absences. At this point, an Attendance Meeting will be scheduled with the Parent/Guardian and administration to create an Attendance Plan. Continued truancy will result in turning the plan over to the Anderson County Board.
