The Belmont ELPAC hosted a potluck picnic at Wellington School on September 22 to welcome new families, reconnect with returning families, and celebrate our wonderful English Language Education community.
We had a fantastic turnout, with an amazing array of food from around the world! Families also had access to simultaneous interpretation in five languages.
The evening included a presentation about the English Language Education program, our goals for students, and the importance of partnering with families. New families also applauded returning families who came to help welcome them to our cosmopolitan community.
To wrap up the evening, families were invited to take home free books, generously provided through the Foundation for Belmont Education’s elementary library renewal project.

There’s nothing quite like the excitement of the first day of school! 📚✏️ At Winn Brook, educators greeted students with warm smiles, helping make the transition from home to school a little smoother for both students and parents. We’re so happy to have our students back and can’t wait to see all the learning, growth, and joy this new school year brings. Welcome back, BPS!
Today, we kicked off the new school year by welcoming back our returning staff and saying hello to the new faces joining the BPS community!
Superintendent Jill Geiser celebrated the district’s accomplishments and the collective work that has moved BPS forward, while sharing her excitement for the year ahead. School Committee Chair Meg Moriarty also greeted staff and offered her best wishes for a great school year!
Then, principals from PreK through gr 12 took the mic to share what makes their schools so special. While every school has its own unique spirit, one message rang loud and clear: It’s the people who make BPS special.
Together, we build our community! Here’s to an amazing year of learning, connection, and growth!

Across our elementary and upper elementary schools, Moving Up and Clap Out celebrations took place—marking an exciting milestone for our amazing 3rd grade students as they get ready for upper elementary! At Winn Brook, parents and students gave a big round of applause—complete with cowbells and pom-pom waves—as 3rd graders paraded around the school. Wellington welcomed families indoors for a video presentation, then continued the celebration outside with a festive reception. At Butler, 3rd grade students were cheered on with the message to Dream Big!, while Burbank 3rd graders performed Count on Me to close out their elementary journey. The CUE celebrated its 6th grade class with a special ceremony and wrapped up with a spirited Clap Out. Congratulations to all our rising 4th and 7th graders! Enjoy the summer!
