Message From The District Administrator
After three years with COVID-19 restrictions, the School District of Belleville adjusted to the “new normal” last year. Our staff is poised to capitalize on this return to “normal” for the 2023-24 school year.
Last school year was filled with many milestones.
- The school district is grateful for the community support it received in November’s successful recurring operating referendum.
- The district earned its sixth consecutive "exceeds expectations" school report card score.
- Belleville High School once again earned Level 2 Advanced Placement Pacesetter status in 2022.
- Project Lead the Way once again acknowledged Belleville Elementary and Middle Schools as Distinguished Schools.
- Niche.com continued to rate Belleville teachers as the #8 staff out of 381 school districts in Wisconsin, with an overall grade of “A” for the district.
- The opening of the splash pad at the Aquatic Center has increased the number of season passes sold and provided more options for Belleville’s families.
April’s School Perceptions survey of parents provided the administrative team with beneficial feedback. We appreciate the praise that we receive but are also receptive to the more unfavorable input provided.

The school district continues to collaborate with parents and community partners. The district enters Year 2 of its 3-year strategic plan, developed with guidance from the Key Communicators group of volunteer parents from across the district. Already this year, our administrative team has met with seven advisors from four local colleges and universities to better prepare our students for post-secondary opportunities. We will gather similar data from local employers this fall. This information will be paired with the results of our graduate surveys to better inform staff in preparing students for life beyond high school. Similarly, staff across the district are organizing a Community Service Day during the 2023-24 school year to give back to Belleville.
As always, it’s a great day to be a Wildcat!
