Field Day - Please read below about specifics for Field Day. We will have Field Day rain or shine next week. However, if it rains we will hold it in the gym. If it is held in the gym, parents cannot attend due to space. Thank you for understanding!! Coach Davis will make a decision about Field Day the night before, and post it on Class Dojo.

Have a great weekend!

Early Release - If you would like to take your child home after Field Day, your name will have to be on the Approved Pick Up List. Bring your driver's license to the check out table. If your name is not on the list, you will have to go to the office to sign your child out.

Legislators have not forgiven our missing school days from the Hurricane. Legally, the school board was allowed to forgive two of the days. Here are the other days that will help us reach our 180 day school requirement.

• April 18- eLearning - (Asynchronous learning, meaning students will not physically be required to attend online instructional sessions or complete work on that day.)
• May 21 and 22- full days - These will be face-to-face and are currently both half days.)
• May 23- eLearning (Asynchronous enrichment which will not count toward students' grade.)

Your involvement in your child's learning is very important to us! I would highly recommend that you make sure your Parent Portal account is working, so that you can monitor your child's grades throughout the 4th quarter. If you need assistance with this, you can contact the school office.

Our two current middle schools in the district have some significant financial challenges. The district is proposing the possibility of building a new middle school for Belton and Honea Path students to occupy in 2027-2028. Here is a link for some clarifying information - Building For Tomorrow

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.

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.

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.

Students will not be allowed to be dismissed from class after 2:00pm without administrator approval. Please plan doctor appointments accordingly.

Breakfast and Lunch are free for all of our students this year!
