The Bellefonte Area School District dentist will conduct the state-mandated dental screenings on April 3, 2025, for students in kindergarten, and 3rd-grade students. We strongly recommend that a dentist examine students at the dentist’s office for a complete and thorough exam. If your student has seen a dentist, please submit a completed private dentist exam report to the school nurse. The school dentist will screen any student in K and 3rd grade who have not turned in a private dental exam report. The dentist visually examines teeth. No treatment or cleanings are available. A report will be sent home if abnormal findings are noted, asking for the student to be seen by a private dentist. Please contact your school nurse with any questions or concerns. Again, this is for kindergarten and 3rd, students only.

Please click on the file below for the cafeteria menu for the end of February and March.

The PSSA testing window starts on Tuesday, April 22 and runs through Friday, May 2. As a reminder, Educational Trips are not approved during the testing window for students in grades 3-5.

You can now order your copy of the 2024-25 Bellefonte Elementary School yearbook! Go to https://jostensyearbooks.com/?REF=A09880953 to place your order. The order deadline is April 12th. Yearbooks will be $16.50 plus tax, with optional personalization available at additional cost.
