Bellerive Bulletin
October 5, 2025
Dear Bellerive Families,
Our focus this month is Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind. This habit is all about having a vision and setting goals. Leaders know where they’re headed and make choices today that help them reach tomorrow’s goals.
At Bellerive, students are practicing Habit 2 by:
-
Setting goals in their Leadership Binders.
-
Thinking about the kind of person and leader they want to be.
-
Planning ahead instead of just reacting in the moment.
Families can support this habit at home by encouraging children to set small goals, like finishing a book by the end of the week or saving for something they would like to buy. Talk with your child about your own family goals, (i.e. planning a trip, saving for something important, or making healthier choices). We also hope you will complete the "Habits at Home" activity that will be sent home with your child on Wednesday.
When students learn to “begin with the end in mind,” they discover that their daily actions make a difference and help shape their future.
In partnership,
Joey Kneer
Reminders
- Please DO NOT drop off students before 7:55 am as coverage is not available.
- Students will be expected to follow all Bellerive behavior expectations to remain in before-school clubs.
- Attendance is important. Because many students wish to participate, if your child misses more than three sessions, we may need to offer their spot to another student.
- No clubs will be held the week of November 3rd due to conferences.
- The last week of clubs will be February 23, 2026.
If you have any questions about clubs, please email Ashley Jelovic at ajelovic2@parkwayschools.net.
Student-led conferences are the week of November 3, and conference night is Thursday, November 6. The online sign-up link will be published in next week's Bellerive Bulletin.
Did You Know?
A day of missed school is a lost opportunity for social development. By coming to school every day they’re not sick, your child is gaining social skills that will land them their first job as an adult.

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!
