A Message from the Principal

Happy First Day of School!

We would like to take a moment to thank all the families and our amazing PTA for attending our Back to School Playground Event and Open House last week.  We were so happy to meet new students and families and to reconnect with those returning to Belle View again this year.

Teachers will be sending home weekly communication via email/TalkingPoints.  Clear and consistent communication is a priority to me and our grade level teams will be sharing updates, grade specific information, curriculum focuses, and other pertinent information. 

A few reminders for the first week:

Bus arrivals - All buses will pick up and drop off around the bus loop.  FCPS has an app for buses that are running late. "Here come the Bus" App

For the first week or two, I would anticipate some later bus drop offs. 

Kiss and Ride (Car Riders) - Parents who drop off need to enter the parking lot and take an immediate left, following the kiss and ride signs.  Each day, school staff will open car doors and greet your children.  Please do not have your child exit the vehicle without our school staff assisting.

Walkers - All walkers will exit the building and immediately head home.  Students are not allowed to stay in the school grounds after school without parental supervision. 

Kindergarten parents may walk students to class on the first day of school and through Wednesday, August 21st. 

As a reminder, there is no student drop off on Fort Hunt Road and during arrival and dismissal, there is no left turn out of the parking  lot.
