Bellerive Bulletin

Dear Bellerive Families:

One of the things I am most grateful for at Bellerive is our PTO. Every parent, caregiver, and staff member is part of this group, and together, the PTO makes a powerful difference for our kids. Their Champions for Children fundraiser is in full swing, and thanks to your generosity, they've already raised 38% of the goal for the year!

The PTO invests an average of $65 per child each year, funding enriching experiences like Culture Night, author visits, student clubs, and transportation for field trips. They also provide countless classroom resources that directly support teaching and learning while keeping teachers from having to pay out of pocket. Last year, PTO funds have provided things like LEGO sets, magnetic blocks, sensory tools, flexible seating, extra books for classroom libraries, and even technology like LCD tablets. These kinds of resources bring learning to life and make classrooms more engaging and fun for students.

This is truly a community effort, and we would love to see donations from across Bellerive. Every gift matters, whether it’s a few dollars or more, and together they add up to meaningful support for every child in our school.

Please see the flyer below for details on how to contribute. Donations can be made by check, Venmo, or PayPal. Every amount helps us move closer to our goal and directly supports our students and teachers.

In partnership,

Joey Kneer

Students missing only two days in the first month of school can snowball into more than 25 absences by the end of the year. Please keep your child on track with a strong start by making attendance a priority and sending them to school when they are healthy and ready to learn.

Parkway's new Visitor Management System is up and running at Bellerive! Watch this video for all you need to know about signing in through this system.

The kiosk is located in the vestibule at Bellerive. After you have signed in and printed your visitor badge, please hit the door buzzer to request entrance to the building.

Thank you for your help keeping our students and staff safe and secure!
