BIRTHDAY TREATS AND FAVOR BAGS - Birthday treats MUST be pre-packaged, individually packed store bought items. Please do not bring any cakes, cupcakes, cookie cakes as they are not already individually wrapped from the store. Pre-packaged birthday treats or favor bags will be handed out at the end of the day and sent home with students for them to enjoy.

PHOTO ID REMINDER - Please make sure you are bringing a photo ID with you when checking in to eat lunch with your student, or when checking out your student. Our office staff will be scanning your ID every time you visit our campus. The safety of our students and our staff are a top priority, and appreciate your understanding and assistance with this process. When exiting, we ask that you turn in your visitor badge with our front office to be signed out.

STUDENT CELL PHONES - Parents, we have had some challenges with students following cell phone expectations according to the handbook. Some students are going to their lockers to grab phones and use them in the restroom. Students should have cell phones and smart watches turned off during the school day. Any communication can be received at the front office, an email to the teacher, or through Remind. We are asking for your help to reiterate these expectations with your child. Thank you for your support

• BISD Handbook Pg 57: Instructional Use of Personal Telecommunications and Other Electronic Devices
• Students must obtain prior approval to use personal telecommunications or other personal electronic devices for instructional purposes while on campus. Students must also sign a user agreement that contains applicable rules for use (separate from this handbook). All personal devices must be turned off during the instructional day when not in use for approved instructional purposes. Violations of the user agreement may result in withdrawal of privileges and other disciplinary action.

DISMISSAL TRANSPORTATION CHANGES - Please make sure you call our front office at 254-316-5000 no later than 2:00 p.m. for any dismissal transportation changes for your student. We will get a note down to your student's teacher to let them know of the change. Sometimes Teachers miss notes in backpacks or remind messages about dismissal changes so it is very important to notify the front office so that they can communicate those changes. Please also give our office a call if someone other than yourself (parent/guardian) will be checking out, or picking your student up early.

STUDENT LUNCHES - Families are welcome to eat lunch with their students any day of the week. We ask that all visitors bring their ID and sign in at the front office for a visitors pass. We do not allow food deliveries from any delivery service to the campus for students (ex. Doordash, Favor, Waiter, Grubhub). Parents/Guardians may drop food off in the front office for their student to enjoy, but we cannot accept food deliveries from a delivery service. Students who do not have a lunch from home are always allowed to eat a tray from the cafeteria.

NEW ADDRESS VERIFICATION PROCESS FOR SELECT GRADE LEVELS - As Belton ISD prepares to implement the new elementary attendance boundaries and ensure fidelity of our existing attendance boundaries, the district will begin a new address verification process this spring.

• Families of returning students entering grades three, six, and nine (3rd, 6th, and 9th) for the 2024-25 school year will be required to provide proof of residency to verify their home address during the Returning Student Verification process.
• Any students new to Belton ISD and incoming Kindergarteners will also provide proof of residency to verify their home address.

Proof of residency is a copy of a current utility bill (electricity, gas, water) dated within the last 30 days showing name, current address, and date; a current lease (for 30 days until a utility bill is available); if you have recently purchased your home, a copy of the closing papers will suffice until a utility bill is available; or a notarized copy of the BISD Residency Verification affidavit, along with a valid Proof of Residency in the homeowner/renters name. If you are living in Belton ISD attendance boundaries, but cannot provide one of the above forms of documentation, please contact the campus registrar for individual assistance. An electronic copy of eligible documents may be uploaded into Skyward when you complete your Returning Student Verification. Please be on the lookout for additional information when the Returning Student Verification process opens on April 16th. We appreciate your continued partnership in this process.
