From the Principal
Parents,
We had a great week at Belton Elementary!
This time of year is especially important that students are on time and at school every day. Every instructional minute is valuable as we get your child prepared for state testing and the next grade level.
This is just a reminder, cell phones and smart watches are not allowed to be out at school by students. They can be powered off and in their book bags. Legislation has been passed in South Carolina to support this, but it has always been a school policy at Belton Elementary.
As always, thank you so much for your support.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Fowler

Reminders
Transportation Change
You must call the office if you need to change the transportation for how your child normally gets home. Messaging the teacher on Class Dojo will not work because teachers will most likely not see your message until students are already gone.
Breakfast
If your child is a car rider and would like to eat breakfast at school, please be sure to get them to school as early as possible to give them plenty of time to eat. The hot breakfast line ends at 7:35am. I would suggest getting your child to school before 7:30am to ensure they are getting a hot breakfast, and are not rushed.
Tardy Bell
The tardy bell will ring at 7:45am. Students must be in their classroom by 7:45am in order to not be tardy. Parents must park and walk their child in if they are tardy.
Early Dismissal
Students will not be allowed to be dismissed from class after 2:00pm without administrator approval. Please plan doctor appointments accordingly.
Free Lunch
Breakfast and Lunch are free for all of our students this year!
