This week marked a fantastic start to our school year, and it was a true pleasure to visit our schools on Tuesday and see the energy and enthusiasm of our students, families, and staff. The positivity and countless smiles on the faces of students and staff were uplifting.


I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for entrusting your child(ren)’s education and well-being to our district. We are dedicated to ensuring that each student experiences academic success, a strong sense of belonging, and personal growth throughout the year.


With the arrival of a new school year comes a host of fresh beginnings—whether it’s a new teacher, a new classroom, new friends, new coursework, or even a new school building. I encourage everyone to embrace this year with optimism and resilience. Each day presents an opportunity for our students to learn and grow, for our families to support their children and one another, and for our staff to create a nurturing learning environment where our students succeed academically. We are all in this together.


If you have any questions or need assistance, our staff is always available to provide support and resources. Please feel free to reach out to your child(ren) 's teacher, principal, or student services team.


In service,


Dr. Willie E. Garrison II

School District of Beloit Superintendent

Every Day Counts. Attendance Matters!

Regular school attendance helps students get the most out of their school day!


When they come to school consistently, they can take part in all classroom activities, connect with their teachers and friends, and keep up with their lessons. This active participation plays a big role in their academic growth and helps them achieve their best.
