What an accomplishment! We collected 545 books and coloring books for Cal's Angels. What a way to come together and support a local organization that exemplifies empathy for so many children. A special shout out to Mrs. Damato for donating 214 books to the cause that is near and dear to her heart with two children as cancer survivors.

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.

Field Day 2026 will be held on Tuesday, May 26th. This school-wide, full day of activities is always a highlight of the year! It will be a day full of fun, movement, and school spirit—whether we are inside or outside.

Students will rotate through a variety of exciting stations including inflatables, art, STEM activities, PE games, and music.

Please make sure your child wears PE shoes so they can safely participate in all of the activities.

A sign-up for parent volunteers will be shared soon. We would love your help in making this a fun and successful day for our students!

More information will be shared as the date gets closer. If you have any questions, please contact rebecca.seidling@d303.org

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.

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.

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.

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.

We appreciate our volunteers and value your time. When you are in the building for any reason, please be respectful of classroom instruction and do not make unexpected visits to your child's classroom. Thank you for helping us minimize classroom disruptions.

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.”
