Bellerive Bulletin

We need your help preparing for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. Our staffing is dependent on student numbers. In order for us to plan for the next school year, it is important that we have accurate information on who will/will not be returning to Bellerive.

We ask that you complete a SEPARATE FORM for EACH CHILD in your household to help us with our records and planning. We request that these be submitted no later than Monday, April 21st. Thank you for your help!

We are beginning to develop our class lists for next school year, and we strive to create a balanced classroom environment for our students. Please know this is a challenging process that involves multiple variables. When planning we take into consideration students' academic needs, learning styles, peer relationships, gender, ethnicity, social-emotional needs, and much more. We work to create the most balanced classes we can in order to best support the learning and growth of all students.

Your input on how your child learns is import ant to our decisions on class placement. Please take a moment to fill out this survey for your child. We know you know your child best! We ask that you complete a SEPARATE FORM for EACH CHILD in your family.

If you choose, you may share other factors you would like us to consider during class placement. We will not be honoring specific teacher requests, so please do not write a teacher request on this form.

Thank you so much for your input. Responses are due by Monday, April 21, 2025.
