Bellevue Staff, Students, and Community,

We’ve just wrapped up our second week of the school year, and the energy in our buildings has been outstanding. Thank you to our staff for their hard work in building strong relationships, to our students for embracing learning, and to our families for the ongoing support you provide. Together, we’re off to a great start.

As we head into the Labor Day weekend, I hope each of you finds time to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with family and friends. This holiday is a celebration of hard work, and there’s no better group to recognize than the dedicated people who make Bellevue Schools a special place.

Let’s carry this momentum into September and continue building on the great foundation we’ve started.

Have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend!

Proud to be a Bellevue Bronco,

Eric McCalla
