Hello Bellevue Staff and Community,
As we wrap up another week, I want to recognize the dedication of our entire staff, from our teachers to our support staff. The growth we’re seeing in our students is because of all of you; there’s so much to be proud of.
As we head into Memorial Day weekend, let’s carry that positivity. This long weekend is a time for rest, reflection, and gratitude. It’s also a moment to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Let’s take time to appreciate the freedoms we enjoy and the community we’ve built together.
Thank you for all you do to make Bellevue a place where every student can thrive. Enjoy the well-deserved break, and let’s come back refreshed and ready to finish the year strong!
Finally, congratulations to our seniors. We look forward to celebrating you on June 1st and cannot wait to see all of the great things you accomplish. “ Once a Bronco, always a Bronco.”

Teachers,
We’re excited to launch the first year of our annual county-wide professional development series! Our goal is to make this experience meaningful, impactful, and truly worthwhile for all participants.
We recognize the incredible talent and expertise within our educator community, and we believe there’s so much we can learn from one another.
If you’re interested in becoming a presenter or have any questions about the process, we encourage you to attend one of the upcoming Zoom information sessions. Each session will be in small groups and run for 75 minutes.
We look forward to growing and learning together!
Dates: 5/22, 5/27, or 6/3

District Attendance Ice Cream Challenge
This is the last week to bump up your class's attendance! All you need to do his be present, be learners, be winners! The Ice Cream Challenge concludes on May 30th.
Jr/Sr:
- The Senior's capstone projects were filled with pride, ambition, reflections, and tears. This project continues to accumulate lessons and love gathered from their years in Bellevue.
- We are in the final weeks of school. This is the last chance to catch up some of those missing assignments. Please join our After School Tutoring. Snacks included too! Help encourage your student to join this opportunity for support!
- We’re thrilled to celebrate the incredible achievements of our third-grade students in Ms. Wagner’s class, who recently became published authors! The publishing process gave students a chance to experience the full writing journey — not just writing, but editing, designing covers, and even reading their stories aloud to classmates and guests. The pride on their faces as they shared their finished books was a joy to see.
- The final push for the 3B Celebration is in the works. Remind students that a school-wide field day celebration is on the line – a fun afternoon event they won’t want to miss!
District:
- We need presenters for our County-Wide PD on 11/4/25. This could be you! Check out the one minute video with information. Here is the Zoom link for the meetings at 4:00 on May 22, May 27 and June 3.
