New adventures await our 5th graders as they head off to middle school. Today we celebrated them with a special recognition ceremony. Congratulations to Abraham Howell who received the Mary D. Shearin Academic Excellence Award. This award is given to the 5th grade student who had the highest cumulative grade point average in all subject areas for grades 3-5. William Hasty received this year’s Belmont Leadership Award. This award is given to the student who exemplified leadership in and out of school.

5th Grade Families: 5th-grade graduation is tomorrow, Tuesday, May 25th, from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM in the Belmont Auditorium/Cafeteria.

Proud of the work our second grade classes have been doing in recent weeks as they've been learning about the War of 1812. This led to a study about the economy both then and now. This project also helped students learn the value of money and hard work. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Belmont Families: It is time to return all district chrome devices and hotspots for maintenance over the summer and to prepare for EOG testing. Face-to-face students will return their chrome devices, chargers, and hotspots (if they were assigned one) beginning May 10. Please return BOTH the device and charger to avoid any fines. Virtual students will keep all items until 12:00pm on the last day of school, 5/28. Between 12:00-2:30pm on that date, parents will participate in a drive by drop off of all items in the bus circle. Please return BOTH the device and charger to avoid any fines. #KidsAreOurCustomers

Reminder: Required End-Of-Grade Testing for virtual students in grades 3-5 only will be ongoing at Belmont Elementary School from May 10th to May 12th. Your child and your child’s teacher have been working very hard all year! We ask that you drop your child off between 7:45 AM - 8:10 AM. Please be mindful that a cloth face covering must be worn at all times. You will need to pick up your child promptly at 12:15. Don't forget to bring your chromebook and charger with you. #KidsAreOurCustomers
