Parents , we know you want your children to do well in school and so do we!
Did you know there is a strong connection between chronic absences (and tardies) and a student’s academic achievement?
In other words, kids do better academically, socially and emotionally when they come to school on time!

Belwood Elementary kicked off the new school year with an exciting end to the day as the Air Elite Dunkers had students cheering and having a blast! These talented athletes wowed the crowd with jaw-dropping acrobatics and incredible slam dunks. 4th grade teacher Julie Psaila was loudly chosen by the students to volunteer and help for a special slam dunk trick.
With this much energy and excitement, it’s clear it’s going to be an extraordinary year! #ExtraordinaryGCS #ExtraordinaryBES

New Town Baptist continues to bless Belwood Elementary.
As a Community Outreach Partner, they have earned an A ++ every time they pray for our faculty and families, bring us book bags loaded with school supplies for our students, show up for Open House to meet and get to know our kids and even provide bottles water for any student who has a need during the dog days of August.
Every Time we ask, New Town Baptist is ready, willing and able to be the hands and feet we need.
Thank you for the love you show in SO MANY different ways!
