Welcome to the 2019-2018 school year!
This is an exciting year for the School District of Belleville with the final completion of the facility project that has addressed the school district-wide facility needs. In November of 2016, the voters in the School District of Belleville cast ballots for the first school-related referendum in our community in more than 20 years. The results were overwhelming; 68 percent of the voters said “yes” to the referendum question on the ballot, supporting a plan to address numerous facility needs in the district.
Last fall the Middle/High School opened the school year with a new look including a Science Technology Engineering Math (STEM) expansion; a new secure office entrance, an expanded weight room/fitness center, new concession stand with bathrooms for athletic events; lighting upgrades for the Middle School and site and safety improvements.
Beginning last September, the last phase of the building project began with the building of an addition to the current Intermediate School. This included additional classrooms, a new cafetorium, and two multi-purpose spaces. This summer the work continued with learning space enhancements to the existing building including flooring, lighting, cabinetry, and a larger Library Media Center; upgrades to plumbing, HVAC, electrical, roofs, windows and doors.
Thank you to the Belleville community for your financial support and all the time and effort numerous community members gave to be part of the process. The collaborative engagement we saw was proof of what a great community we have in Belleville. With that, the School District of Belleville offers our most heartfelt gratitude.
Academically, we have numerous opportunities ensuring every student will have a positive educational experience; Project Lead the Way (PLTW) for grades K-12 that focuses on engineering design, integrated manufacturing and principles of engineering; Partnerships in Comprehensive Literacy (PCL); and One-One Technology (1:1). Students also have a choice of 22 clubs and activities and 20 boys and girls athletic teams.
Throughout the school year students will discover new areas of information, engage in critical thinking and hands on learning experiences. The School District of Belleville is committed to providing a comprehensive, challenging curriculum that promotes the intellectual, social and emotional development for all students.
It is a great year to be a WILDCAT!
