This weekend brings Veterans Day, when we honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces with their dedication and courage. I had the honor this past week of commemorating this day with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the Belmont Chapter at Butler, Burbank, and BMS, including a luncheon where we came together in appreciation of our veterans. I would like to express my gratitude to the VFW for the opportunity to share in that event and to our veterans for their service ...

We are over a month into the school year with teaching and learning well under way. Over the past weeks, I have been visiting schools and going to curriculum nights and athletic events where I have been able to see our staff and students in action. I am continuously reminded of how much talent and dedication we have in our community!

We opened the school year last week with our Opening Day for staff on September 5 and for students starting September 6. Thank you to families and staff for helping to make those first days go as smoothly as possible. It was great to see students return to school buildings filling the hallways and classrooms with the sounds of learning.

Welcome to the 2023-2024 school year! I am excited for our school doors to officially open on September 6 for grades 1 - 12, September 7 and 8 for Kindergarten, and September 11 for preschool, and am looking forward to seeing students filling our hallways, ready to learn. I hope you have had a chance to view the video updates from our central office team this summer Here are the links in case you missed them:

We invite you to watch the latest video message for the summer from Superintendent Geiser. In this message, you will hear from Chon'tel Washington, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Matt Kuzmeskas, Director of Technology, who talk about what they have been doing to prepare for the 2023-2024 school year.
