Language Arts
Belmont Public Schools is dedicated to providing all students with a rich, rigorous, well-rounded English language arts program which empowers students with the language and thought processes to learn and to communicate. A key to success for all students is the development of efficient and effective reading and writing skills and strategies. Developing these skills requires ongoing staff development and parent education in the area of literacy instruction in order to use current research and best practices across the system. Together, teachers and parents can help students develop the positive attitudes and academic skills that will enrich their lives and enable them to become lifelong learners.
