The Summer Reading Lists are a joint project of the Belmont Public Schools and the Belmont Public Library. They are designed to encourage students in Belmont to make reading a habit, raising both their interest in and level of reading. These books and works from authors are available to view in print and as e-books and e-audiobooks that can be borrowed free of charge from the Belmont Public Library’s collections in Libby and in Hoopla.

In our work with the Belmont Middle and High School Building Committee (BMHSBC), we wanted to communicate to you site work changes that will impact area traffic this summer during the construction of the grades 7 and 8 wing. Please see the site pictures provided by the BMHSBC that outline summer work into September.

Congratulations to our high school seniors who graduated on June 5. This year, we had graduation outside on Harris Field rather than the BHS Field House. It was a beautiful day, and it was wonderful to be able to celebrate this event and be together. We wish our graduates well in their future endeavors. We also want to congratulate and recognize our eighth grade class who move up to the high school, and our fourth grade class who will move up to Chenery.

Staff Recognition Day, held on May 19, virtually celebrated 51 staff members of Belmont Public Schools for their years of service ranging from ten to 25.

Our educators were celebrated during Teacher appreciation week on May 3 through May 7. The PTA/PTO provided food trucks at schools, snacks and treats in teacher break rooms, and other various terrific ways to show our educators how much they mean to us. During this appreciation week, we want to thank our faculty, staff, school administrators, and families for their flexibility and support during this pandemic year. In addition, we also want to thank the advisory and working groups for volunteering their time and their help in unpacking the challenges associated with returning first to hybrid and then to full in-person learning. This work helped pave the road back in April for all our students to attend school full in-person, if they chose to do so.
