Preschool Program

The Belmont Public School Preschool Staff conducts screenings on an ongoing basis throughout the school year for all Belmont children aged 3-5 years of age. Services for students with needs range from related outpatient services to a classroom placement. The Classroom Preschool Program is designed to include special needs students in an integrated model with typically developing students from the community. To qualify for a classroom placement, special needs students must be significantly delayed in more than one area and be unable to make progress in a community preschool. Typically developing students are chosen randomly through a lottery of applicants. 

For further information on the preschool, please visit Belmont Public School Preschool pages.

School PTA/PTO and Advisory Councils

All seven schools in Belmont have active parent-teacher organizations PTO/PTA/PTSO and other parent/community organizations affiliated with our schools and school departments. These groups provide energy and ideas for enriching the social and academic opportunities available to students, staff, and their families. The PTOs sponsor a wide variety of programs and events at each school, including the Kindergarten Extended Day programs, the After School programs, and Arts and Enrichment programs to supplement the curriculum at all grade levels. Each school also has a School Advisory Council comprised of the school principal, teachers, parents, and community representatives. The role of the Council is to assist the principal in identifying the educational needs of students, adopting educational goals for the school, reviewing the annual budget, and developing the annual School Improvement Plan. These plans guide the school administration, staff, volunteers, and parent community in working toward achieving a set of mutually-agreed upon goals. The Belmont Special Education Advisory Council welcomes parents with similar interests. In addition, parents are involved in the review of curriculum and are often asked to serve on a curriculum steering committee.
