We hope you had a restful mid-winter break, at home or away in other locales. Thank you for the delicious PTA staff lunch! Tres Sandwiches kept us fueled during the last few days before break.
As of today, we have less than 80 school days remaining for this academic year, and our calendars reflect "so much to do with so little time"! We look forward to continued work together to improve how we support our students. This coming week, Missoula Children's Theater joins us as our students audition, rehearse, and put on two performances that are guaranteed to be memorable experiences for all. Good luck to our families and students who are part of this production!
Also, there are NO afterschool programs this week due to Missoula Children's Theatre week. All Winter programs will resume on Monday, March 6.
We have also rescheduled our Pastries with Principals event as we learned that this falls during After School Spring Registration on 3/1. Pastries with Principals will now be on the following Wednesday, 3/8, 8:15-9:30am. If you cannot make it in person but are interested in joining virtually, please email me (nhanb@bsd405.org) so that I can set up a link for you to join. We will be learning more about Restorative Practices.
In the meantime, we wish everyone a smooth return back to routines!
Warmly,
Kati & Betty

How is the Bellevue School District Funded?
Primary sources come from state and federal government funding and local levies supported by taxpayers. At Medina, we are grateful for the added generosity of families and community partners who donate funds and time to enrich the learning environment and experiences for all of our students. In addition, funds from all the sources can only be used for limited purposes. Click here for more information on how the district is funded.
