PTO Fundraiser Ends Monday!
We're making great progress toward our goal and want to reach the $7,000 mark before Tuesday, October 21!
We are so grateful for the many families who have already supported the PTO’s Champions for Children fundraiser! This is one of the PTO’s biggest fundraisers of the year, and it replaces the need to sell items like wrapping paper, candy, or popcorn. Because this takes the place of those sales, we’re asking for your help in spreading the word.
Please consider forwarding this message to grandparents, aunts, uncles, neighbors, and friends. Encourage them to give in place of being asked to purchase something!

It’s almost time for Student-led Conferences at Bellerive! Conferences will take place the week of November 3-7, with our main Conference Night on Thursday, November 6th from 4:15 - 8:00 pm.
Conferences at Bellerive are student-led, giving students the opportunity to share their learning, goals, and progress directly with their families. Since conferences are student-led, please make sure your child can attend as well.

Additional Details:
Conferences may be in-person or virtual throughout the week. Conferences on Thursday evening are reserved for in-person only.
Specials teachers (Art, Music, PE, Strings, Library), Intervention Teachers, Counselors, and Special Educators are available for individual or drop-in meetings. Please email them directly to schedule an individual time.
If no available times fit your schedule, please reach out to your child’s teacher to arrange an alternate time.
Our goal is 100% family participation because strong partnerships between home and school help every Bellerive student thrive.

Veterans Day Assembly Invitation
On Tuesday, November 11, 2025, at 9:30 am, Bellerive students will attend an assembly about Veterans Day. The theme of our assembly is “Thank You for Your Service.”
If you or someone in your family is a veteran or currently active in the military, we would like to invite you to be honored as our guest. Veterans and active military will have a special seat at this assembly. We would like to honor you and give you our thanks. Due to space constraints, we are limiting guests to Veterans and immediate family members.
Any veteran or active military personnel who would like to attend should complete this Google form (click the link or use the QR code) by Friday, November 7. If you have any questions, please email Aaron Watson at awatson1@parkwayschools.net.
