Car Riders & Car Tags
Bell-Graham has a Visor Tag System for car riders. Families are provided a Visor Tag with their name on it. This tag is to be displayed on your passenger visor, visible to BG staff as you pull through the pick-up line. The use of the visor tag helps to expedite our car pick-up line, as it allows staff members to get the students ready as the cars arrive.
If you need additional visor tags, please email Mrs. Kirincich.
⛄ Recess Weather Guidelines
🧤 Label Outdoor Clothing
Please be sure to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothing for recess.
Please label your child's jacket, gloves, hat, etc. whenever possible. It helps us return items to their owner if they end up in lost & found.

i-Ready Results
After your child completes testing, i-Ready results can be accessed electronically
The For Families diagnostic results report is easily accessible from your child’s i-Ready dashboard. In lieu of being backpacked home, this will be considered the primary method for providing these results to you. Please click the button for directions on how to access the report.
Please note: The code for accessing reports is only good for the current school year. Once the school year is over the code no longer works, so please print or download your student’s report
as soon as possible.
How do I contact my child's teacher?
You can email your child's teacher directly from HAC. After logging in, click on the "classes" image on the top menu. You will be able to view your child's schedule. Each of your child's teachers are listed under "teacher." If you right click on a name, you are given a "copy email address" option.
Lost & Found - Unclaimed Items Donated Monthly
Our lost & found is conveniently located in the lunch room where every student has a daily opportunity to look for lost items. Please encourage your child to check for misplaced items. Don't forget to label as much as possible. We regularly donate unclaimed items.

D303 Facilities Committee Report: Strong Schools = Strong Community
Superintendent Dr. Paul Gordon shared the details of the April 13 meeting of the School Board, where members of the D303 Communitywide Education Facilities Committee joined district leadership in presenting and discussing the Committee’s Final Report.
“I feel we’re at a crossroads,” D303 parent and Facilities Committee Member Alice Froemling told the School Board. “We have great staff, great teachers, great people who are in our schools every day working with our kids. But we’ve achieved our great success not because of our facilities but in spite of our facilities… We have to do something.”
