Belmont School Year Off to a Fantastic Start!

We’re thrilled to share that the school year at Belmont is off to an outstanding start! Students have quickly settled into their classes, and athletics and extracurricular programs are already thriving.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to the incredible students who volunteered to welcome and support those new to our school. Your kindness and leadership truly reflect the spirit of Belmont — a community built on care and connection.

During the first week, our focus was on helping students establish their routines and get comfortable in their classes. This week and next, we’re holding grade-level assemblies to further orient students to the school, available supports, and the graduation program. A central theme of these gatherings is kindness and community — values that lay the foundation for academic excellence and personal growth.

We want to remind everyone that it’s never too early to ask questions in class or for parents and guardians to reach out to teachers for updates on student progress. Our dedicated and compassionate staff are here to support every student’s success. Wishing everyone a joyful and productive September!
