We had a great start to the school year. I want to thank all of the students, teachers, staff members, parents, and guardians. It truly takes an entire community to make this work and we saw this week what truly makes Bellevue a special place to be!

There is a virtual learning session for the NaviGo Scholars program on Monday, August 19th. Through the NaviGo Scholars program, students have the opportunity to partner with local businesses to learn more about their selected industries. Use the QR code below to register for the information session to find out more informatoin.

On Wednesday, students will be bringing home the annual back to school forms that need to be completed and turned back in at school. The forms will include,:

• Photo/Video Release
• Student Emergency Information
• Student Medicaid
• Student Residency Verification
• Student Handbook/District Code of Conduct Acknowledgement

Please make sure that all forms are turned in back at school as soon as possible.

Our students have done an excellent job following the dress code so far. One minor reminder....all students should wear shirts that cover their stomach. Per the student dress code, bare midriffs are not permissible. Please make sure you and your student reviews the Bellevue Middle School/High School Student Handbook and District Code of Conduct. Don't hesitate to contact Mr. Spicher at scott.spicher@bellevue.kyschools.us with any questions.

Our students have also done an excellent job adapting to the new cell phone policy. Just as a reminder, Bellevue Middle School/High School will be following a new cell phone/device policy in order to protect the instructional time of the day. Students are not permitted to have cell phones or ear buds in class during the instructional time. When students enter the classroom, they will put their devices into a clear pocket that is hanging on the classroom door. They will be able to take their cell phone and ear buds with them when they leave the classroom. The policy will be for all classes in grades 6-12.

Students are permitted to have their phones and ear buds on them during arrival, transitions in between classes, lunch, and dismissal. In the event of an emergency, students will need the permission of building administration to use their cell phone during instructional time. We will send you and your student a full copy of our student handbook as we get closer to the school year starting.

Due to federal breakfast/lunch guidelines, students are not permitted to bring outside food an drinks into the building. This includes large caffeinated drinks from places like Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks. This also applies to our students who are taking classes at Gateway or NKU. Students are permitted to carry water bottles with them during the day. They are also welcome to still pack a lunch and bring it to school.

In order to promote a safe and health school environment, we encourage all of our students to report suspicious activity, safety concerns, or mental health concerns to a trusted adult. If they do not feel comfortable talking to an adult in the building, they can always report concerns to the Kentucky Safe Schools Tip Line at 1-866-393-6659. All reports to the Kentucky Safe Schools Tip Line are completely anonymous.
