TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT, BELMONT BEES!

We can't wait to see our Belmont families tonight for our annual Trunk or Treat from 5-7 pm.

We have a fun-filled evening planned with lots of decorated trunks, games, candy, and concessions available for purchase!

A little information for tonight:

The bus lane and bus circle will be closed to families during the event.

The school building will be closed to families, including restrooms.

Please follow the designated parking areas and traffic flow to help keep everyone safe.

Put on your costumes, bring your candy bags, and get ready for a BEE-lieveably fun evening! 🐝🖤

Tomorrow is picture day! Students should come in their best dress with a smile on their face.

1st, 3rd and 5th grade parents-
This is a reminder of the SPOT camera vision screening that will be conducted on October 16th. In order for your child to participate, the blue permission slip must be signed and returned by the 16th. Please take advantage of this free vision screening conducted by the Lions Club of Lake Gaston.

Tomorrow is our yearbook "autograph day." If your child purchased a yearbook, please have them bring it to school. Also, if your student was unable to purchase a yearbook, we will have an autograph page available for them to use.

If your child has RAT bucks to spend on their Readathon account, today is the FINAL day to do so!

Belmont Elementary School extends a heartfelt THANK YOU to our school community! We're incredibly proud of our readers and grateful for your support, which made our fundraiser a success. If your student has "RAT bucks" to spend based on the money they raised, there are only 7 days left to do so.

Thanks for your support!

We're thrilled to announce that our Read-A-Thon is underway! We're counting on you to make it a success. If you haven't already, please take a moment to activate your child’s personal reader page by clicking on the following link:

It only takes a minute or two, and your support will greatly assist us in meeting our financial goals.
Thank you for your help in reaching our goal.

Belmont Elementary School has decided to hold a Read-A-Thon this year!
Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading and it gives friends and family the opportunity to encourage your child to read even more.

Our Read-A-Thon starts Sunday March 1, 2026.

About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.

We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/mZvtqA/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.

We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take much of your time, gives your child a reason to read and helps in the development of stronger reading skills.

We hope EVERYONE participates.

Thanks so much,

Belmont Elementary School

Good evening, Belmont families—
This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow is our scheduled Class Picture Day. Students should come dressed their best and ready with a bright smile.
We look forward to a wonderful, normal school day and can’t wait to see our Belmont Bees shining!

Good morning Belmont families! This is just a reminder that we will be dismissing at 11:30 today. We hope everyone has a wonderful break and we will see you back on January 5th.

After reviewing the latest weather forecast this afternoon, and in consideration of the potential for inclement weather in our area tomorrow afternoon, RRGSD will operate on an Early Release schedule tomorrow, Monday, December 8th, 2025. There will be no school for Clara Hearne Pre-K Center and ACES. All after-school activities, including Place to Play, are canceled.
Dismissal times for tomorrow will be as follows:
Chaloner: 11:00 AM
Belmont and Manning: 11:30 AM
RRHS and RRECHS: 12:00 PM
Staff will be dismissed once all students have cleared the campus, and Central Office staff may leave once all buses have returned.
Please stay safe tomorrow afternoon. We will provide updates regarding Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, as more information becomes available. Thank you for your understanding as we work to prioritize the safety of our students, staff, and community.

Good morning, Belmont families- With today’s 2-hour delay, we will not have parent lunch. Thank you for your understanding!

📄 Progress Reports have gone home! Now is the perfect time to check in on your child’s progress and schedule a conference with their teachers if needed.

Working together ensures that every student stays on track for success. 💪✨ Don’t hesitate to reach out. We value partnering with families to support our students!

Attention Parents/Guardians
Please take a moment to review the Census Verification Report your child brought home today in their Tuesday folder. It’s important that all details are accurate and up to date.
If any changes are needed, simply make corrections directly on the sheet or notify us as soon as possible.
Thank you for helping us keep our records current and ensuring smooth communication throughout the year!

Belmont Families,

We need your help to ensure dismissal runs safely and smoothly each afternoon. Please do not arrive on campus for dismissal before 2:30 p.m. Arriving early creates long lines along Robinson Drive, which impacts our neighbors and causes unnecessary congestion.

Our school day officially ends at 3:05 p.m., and students will not be released before that time. We kindly ask that you wait until after 2:30 to begin queuing so that traffic can flow more safely and we can remain considerate of the families along Robinson Drive.

Thank you for working with us to keep our dismissal process safe, efficient, and neighborly.

Good afternoon Belmont families,
If your child is an afternoon car rider and you missed our car tag table at Open House, please contact the front desk or inform your child's teacher. This allows for us to speed up the car line process and ensure your child is ready to load.

Note: every family is provided 1 car tag, additional car tags may be purchased for $5.

Good morning parents,

The buses have been delayed at Chaloner Middle School this morning, which will cause the Belmont, Manning, RRHS, and RRECHS routes to be delayed. Please know that all buses will pick up at the scheduled stops this morning. Thank you!
