Dear Belfast Families,
Follow us on Instagram!
We encourage all our families to follow our school’s Instagram account (@BelfastSchoolcbe) and visit our school website to see pictures from the week. If you do not see your child on Instagram, it may be because they do not have clearance. Please call the office if you have any questions about clearance.
Ms. Devos Moves to Colonel Sanders School; Ms. Burgess Returns to Belfast
We are so happy to announce that Ms. Devos has been named Acting Assistant Principal at Colonel Sanders School, effective May 7. We are proud of Clara and wish her the best in this new role! To replace Ms. Devos for the remainder of the school year, we will have Ms. Sophia Burgess returning to our school. Ms. Burgess taught Grade 6 at Belfast last year in a temporary role, and knows our school well. Although we are sad to lose Ms. Devos, we are thrilled to have Ms. Burgess back at Belfast and are excited to have her start with us May 12.
Grade 1/ 2 Field Trip Forms
Due to an error on the forms previously sent home, we have had to re-print the field trip forms for the trip on May 21 to Heritage Park. Please recycle the original forms and send back the new ones going home today (the new one says, “NEW” at the top in red).
Reminder: Fun Lunch Survey – Please Complete by Friday, April 25
We have polled all students and teachers about Healthy Hunger Fun Lunches and would love to hear what parents think. Please take two minutes to complete our Fun Lunch form and help us plan for next year: https://forms.office.com/r/eEcuWwj9fJ
Reminder: Space in Kindergarten & Kindergarten Orientation: Thursday, May 22 6:00-7:00
If you have a child coming into kindergarten in September, please join us for our kindergarten orientation on Thursday, May 22, from 6:00-7:00. Even if you are familiar with Belfast and have children already attending, if your younger child is starting kinder in the fall, please join us! At this time, we also have room in our kindergarten class next year for registrations, so please let your friends and family know!
Reminder: Save the Date: Lunch with a Loved One – Wednesday, June 11 @ 11:45
On Wednesday, June 11, we invite you all to join us for our first “Lunch with a Loved One”. On this day, each student can bring a special guest – or guests - to eat with them outside, picnic style. Students and guests provide their own lunch, but it is a Healthy Hunger Fun Lunch day as well, so feel free to order a special lunch for anyone who will attend. The school will have some cold treats as well for our students and guests.
There will be pop-up performances by students to entertain the crowd as well. We realize it is the middle of work week for many adults, so we want to give our families a lot of notice. If you can’t make it, don’t worry! Our amazing adults at the school will be lunching with all of the children we love, so no one will be left out.
**If the weather does not cooperate, we will move indoors to the gym and classrooms
As always, please do not hesitate to reach out if you have anything you would like to share.
