  Our teachers are very excited to meet their new students on August 31st.   At the bottom of this letter is a sticker noting your child’s teacher and room number for the upcoming school year.   Feel free to bring in your student’s school supplies at this time.  

At Belmont we encourage parents to be actively involved in their child’s education.   We offer many opportunities for parental involvement through volunteering, the Parent Teacher Student Organization and our School Advisory Council.   Please look for information to come home during the first week of school to sign up.   We will be having elections for PTSO officers in October.   If you are interested in running for an office, please come to our August PTSO meeting for information.

            Our school bus routes will be posted in the Potomac News, our school website and on our school doors prior to the start of school.   Please check the papers for this information.   If your student will be a bus rider, we encourage parents to send their students to school on the bus so we can identify who rides which bus to ensure they get on the correct bus at the end of the day.   Please remember to have your child at their bus stop five minutes prior to the time listed.   Also, due to traffic patterns, students may arrive home five to ten minutes after the drop off time noted.  

            Again, we welcome all of you to our 2007-08 school year and look forward to an awesome year.   Should you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,

B Outlaw
