Superintendent's Blog

Welcome! I invite you to browse my blog posts!

In every entry I discuss areas of our educational practice and programming. I aim to highlight what our staff and students do every day, and to give families and community information about how we are serving Belmont. We have an amazing school community with a tremendous amount of activity in every school in Belmont. I am proud to share it through this blog and the BPS website.

Belmont Superintendent's Blog - September 19, 2025

We are thrilled to begin another school year, and it has been heartening to see such a smooth and joyful opening across our schools. The first days of school were filled with excitement as students stepped into new classrooms, met their teachers, and reconnected with friends. This energy and enthusiasm remind us of the deep purpose of our work—creating vibrant learning communities where every child can thrive.

This year, our multi-year Strategic Plan continues to guide us. It serves as both our roadmap and our call to action for ongoing improvement and innovation. The plan highlights key areas:
→Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS)
→Vision of a Graduate (VOG)
→Multiple Pathways to Graduation
→Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Mental Health
→Family Communication

Together, these initiatives form the foundation for supporting all learners, regardless of their background, learning profile, or demographic. This approach is central to our mission of ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed and to feel a strong sense of belonging in our schools.
