Welcome to Belvedere Elementary where we have one mission: to develop citizenship, leadership, and higher-order thinking skills. We are excited about this school year and look forward to the many activities and opportunities planned for our students!
Announcements

Arrival Procedures-
- From 7:00-7:15 am- Only students will enter the building and they will go to the cafeteria. Students will have the option to purchase breakfast!
- From 7:15-7:30 am- Students not eating breakfast will go straight to their classrooms. Parents are welcome to walk with their student to the classroom door and then say their "goodbyes!"
- If you are driving through carline, please make sure to watch our signs up front: stopping completely for unloading and pulling forward when time. Also, make sure your student is ready to exit the car. When the sign says stop, students are encouraged to get out of their cars independently and head in. For families walking in, please wait at the crosswalk until a staff member can escort you safely across!
- Because breakfast is served in the cafeteria, no food or drinks besides water bottles will be allowed at student's desk. -
Dismissal- at 2:30 pm: We will be following the same procedures as last year. Anyone picking up a student in carline will need to have a car tag visible. If you did not pick up your car tag at registration, you may pick one up during the day on Monday, August 15. Students who are walkers will exit either by the kindergarten playground or at the front of the school. Remember, walkers must walk from school to a residence. We will not dismiss students from walker exits to a vehicle.
-
Carline Procedures- To avoid a backup of traffic, please go down Palmetto Avenue left on Piedmont Avenue, left on Belair Road, right on Rhomboid Place, and then a right on Monterey Avenue. This will loop traffic around where it doesn't back up.
-
Registration Reminder- Don't forget to have your student fully registered for school with 2 proofs of residency! We want everyone to be able to go straight to their classrooms on Thursday, August 11 from 3:30-6:00 and not have to wait to register! Also, if students are not fully registered by August 14, will not be able to right the bus home until the second week of school!
