Game Day
Bellaire Varsity Football's first preseason game is tonight vs Beaumont Westbrook High School. Kick off is at 7:00pm at Beaumont Memorial Field. #CardinalProud
First Day Packets  - Please Return All Forms
 
Students  brought home a pre-populated enrollment form for the 2019-2020 school year. Each family is asked to do the following on their form before returning it to school.
  1. Draw a line through any incorrect information on the form
  2. Please neatly print any information that needs to be corrected or added.
Students will return all forms to their 2nd period teacher. 


PLEASE make sure that the BLUE Socio Economic Information Form is returned to your 2nd period teacher .  It is very important that we receive the blue form back from every family.  We are a Title 1 school and can receive funding for our school budget through the return of these forms. Every form potentially could mean additional dollars for Bellaire students. If you have questions about the Socio Economic Information Form, please reach out to Ms. Mulet. 
Laptops
Students that have not checked-out a laptop should drop off their laptop agreement form and $25 cash payment, or paypal receipt in the Tech Room, room #220 at lunch. Students will then return after school to pick up their laptop. 

A laptop agreement form can be downloaded here.

Course Change Requests 
NEW -   Course Changes forms are now ONLINE!
 
Counselors are working hard to process the course change requests that have been submitted. A request form should only be submitted one time.  Submitting multiple requests slows down the scheduling process. Requests submitted online should be for one of the following reasons:
 
  • There is an error on the schedule. (For example, a class you didn't choose at course selection is on your schedule.)
  • I am a NEW student to BHS and I chose an incorrect level of class. (Returning students can request this starting 9/17/19, see below.)
  • A required core class is missing.
  • A course needed for graduation is missing.
  • A class period is missing or repeated.
 
Here are reasons NOT to submit a course change to your Counselor:
 
  • I want a different teacher or class period.
  • I want to be in my friend's class.
  • The classrooms are too far apart and I don't think I will get there in time.
Level Change Reminder
The Bellaire Counseling Department is working hard to process course change requests. Please note that requests that are submitted that do not align with Bellaire's course change policy, will not be processed. 

The level change window does not open until Sept. 17th.
