Hello Bellevue Staff and Community,

One More Week!

As we enter our final week of the school year, I would like to take a moment to thank each of you, our incredible staff, families, and community, for the energy and commitment you’ve poured into this year.

We’re almost there, and now more than ever, we must stay together, support one another, and keep our focus on finishing strong. Staying positive, encouraging each other, and believing in our shared purpose will carry us across the finish line with pride.

Excellence isn’t just a goal, it’s something we achieve when we move forward as one team. Let’s make this last week a celebration of all we’ve accomplished and a reminder of what’s possible when we work together.

We’ve got this! 💪

Great News!

Jr/Sr:

  • Our MS and HS band made Bellevue proud at the Music Festival! Afterwards, they celebrated their accomplishments at Cedar Point. (check out the pictures)

  • Our middle school students had an eventful week! We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the students and volunteers who took part in Community Service Day, giving back to both our community and district. It was truly an impactful experience.

    Next, our 7th graders enjoyed a fun and educational day at John Ball Zoo, while our 8th graders celebrated a year of growth and transition with an exciting trip to Zap Zone. What a wonderful way to wrap up an amazing year!

  • We are in the final weeks of school. This is the last chance to catch up some of those missing assignments. Please join our After School Tutoring. Snacks included too! Help encourage your student to join this opportunity for support!
Elementary:
  • Preschool graduation was last Wednesday. It marked a heartwarming and memorable occasion as our preschoolers celebrated their graduation, taking their first big step toward a bright future. With smiling faces and tiny caps, our young learners proudly received their certificates, marking the end of a wonderful year filled with learning, laughter, and growth.
  • We are excited to celebrate the 6th grade class on June 4th at 1:15 PM! The celebration will be held in the gym, and doors will open at 1:00 PM.
  • At the heart of many educational success stories lies a program that bridges the gap between potential and performance. Using Bridges is one such initiative—a collaborative effort that has led to remarkable improvements in student outcomes through strategic intervention, staff dedication, and student perseverance.
  • The final push for the 3B Celebration is in the works. Remind students that a school-wide field day celebration is on the line – a fun afternoon event they won’t want to miss!
