Hello Bellevue Community and Staff,

Another week is in the books, and we’re continuing to build on the amazing momentum of this school year! 📚

I see more growth, collaboration, and excitement in our classrooms daily. Our students show up eager to learn, and the connections they’re building with their peers and teachers are stronger than ever.

To our dedicated staff—you continue to go above and beyond in making our schools a welcoming, supportive, and inspiring place for our students. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, and your positive impact is felt across the entire community. Thank you for your commitment to excellence.

To our students and families—thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm. It’s clear that together, we’re creating an environment where everyone can thrive, and I couldn’t be more excited about our direction.

As we finish this week and look ahead, let’s keep pushing forward with the same energy and sense of community.

Thank you all, and here’s to another fantastic week ahead!

Great News!

Jr/Sr High: The 9/11 event was a success! Our students showed such compassion and pulled together to support one another to complete the challenge. It was uplifting to watch our students support one another. Students participated in a survey to have voice in how they want to be acknowledged for being successful students. We can't want to share the results.

Elementary: We have created time for our PLCs to meet twice a week for data informed discussions to help our students. It has been so wonderful seeing how staff have come together to wrap their arms around our new staff.

District: We have now completed the Installation Checklist in MiMTSS... 3 months ahead of schedule! I am so proud of the District Implementation team and all of Bellevue staff who made this possible. You are truly amazing people!
