Belwood families,
We are looking forward to a great field day tomorrow, Friday, May 8th.
As always, a top priority is ensuring everyone has a great time while ensuring the safety of everyone. Please help us by utilizing the following procedures:
-If you plan to check your child out, make sure you communicate this with their teacher face to face, not through Dojo. If you check your child out, they are checked out for the remainder of the day. This is a safety measure to ensure all students are accounted for.
-We ask you do not use food service providers such as Door Dash or Uber Eats. Parking will be very limited on this day and often times these drivers do not know where to go. You are free to bring food and drink from home.
Have a great evening!

Belwood PTO recently made a purchase of Recess bags for each grade level. All grade level teachers were asked what that felt like their students would like to have in the bag to take to the playground.
Most bags consist of basketballs, footballs, soccer balls, jump ropes and frisbees. Lower building grades also asked for chalk and bubbles.
We hope all grades are enjoying their recess bags.
Belwood PTO would like to thank some of our partners in education, Mohawk Carpet, Sonic Calhoun, and Elnopal Calhoun for your continued support to make it possible for these great student incentives!!
Thank you also goes out to our parents, teachers and staff for participating in our monthly fundraisers with our local restaurants!!
