As we move into the winter season blowing snow and cold temperatures can become issues for our busses. Please make sure that your child is dressed properly for cold weather in case there are any issues. Gloves, hats, boots, ski pants, and a warm coat will help keep your child warm. Tomorrow we are expecting very cold temperatures along with blowing and drifting snow. Our busses will make every effort to pick children up as usual and will do our best to communicate any issues that may arise. Everyone please take extra precaution and stay safe and stay warm! Thank you.

The Belt School cheerleaders organized a fundraiser to help benefit the Denton School System in response to the tragic fires the Denton community was hit with this past week. Students and staff brought monetary donations and were in turn allowed to wear their hat all day in school. In just one day the fundraiser brought in $1,000. All proceeds will benefit the families of the Denton School System. Thank you to our cheerleaders, students, and staff on a great act of kindness and thoughts and prayers to the Denton School and Community.
