Bellerive Bulletin

Dear Bellerive Families,

Thank you to everyone who has participated in the PTO's Champions for Children Fundraiser. We are making great progress toward our goal, but we need everyone's help to reach the finish line together.

It's time to sign up for before school clubs. A flyer will be coming home with your child this week, or you can sign up online. Keep reading for all the information about Bellerive clubs. (Clubs are one of the many events and activities that are supported by the PTO through your donations!)

We also look forward to connecting as a community outside of school. I hope to see many of you at Sunday’s City2 Soccer Game! Ticket information is included below.

In partnership,

Joey Kneer

Pre-order online using the link and password above. Thank you for supporting our school and helping us make Picture Day a success. We look forward to seeing those smiling faces on Monday, September 22, 2025!

Please note: This is Bellerive's only picture day for the school year as we will not be having a spring picture day. (We did not take spring pictures last year and have decided to continue the pause on spring picture day again this year.)

Mark "dinner on Tuesday" off your to-do list by planning to enjoy some Panera! Panera will donate a portion of all sales to the Bellerive PTO when you use the promo code FUND4U between 4:00 and 8:00 pm at the Four Seasons Shopping Center location.

Bellerive is excited to bring back before school clubs. Each student may select the clubs they would like to join. Click HERE to learn more about what clubs are being offered each day.

All students will be allowed to participate in at least one club, so please rank the club choices in order of preference. Please complete this online form or turn in the paper copy by Monday, September 29th.

Clubs will begin the week of October 13th and will end the week of February 23rd. They start at 8:00 am. Transportation is not provided for clubs, and students may not be dropped off prior to 7:55 am. There will be NO clubs the week of Parent-Teacher Conferences (November 3rd - November 7th).

These are optional and transportation will not be provided.

As part of our ongoing commitment to student well-being, Parkway administers two social-emotional learning (SEL) surveys to students in grades 3–12. Your child will complete this 10-15 minute survey during regular school hours during the windows of September 22 through October 17 and March 13 through April 17. (Bellerive students will complete the first survey the week of October 6.)

Even though students in kindergarten through second grade do not take this survey, their teachers will complete a brief perception survey (as teachers at all grade levels do) to provide additional insight into their social-emotional strengths and growth areas.

This research-based survey helps us better understand how students are feeling about school, relationships, and learning so we can more effectively support their success. You will receive information about your child’s results later in the fall.

All survey responses are confidential and are only accessed by authorized school personnel. The data is never shared with outside parties and is not used to diagnose or label students.

To review questions that will appear on the survey, there is an FAQ page that also provides additional information requested by some parents last year. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Dr. Erin Schulte-Hamilton, Parkway's Coordinator of Counseling and Character Education, via eschulte@parkwayschools.net.

Thank you for your continued partnership in supporting every student's growth and success.
