STAAR Camp
Preliminary STAAR results have been received and students that did not pass a STAAR test or who were absent on the day of a STAAR test will be notified via HISD email early next week. Students that did not pass a STAAR test are highly encouraged to sign up for STAAR Camp and to retest in June. We will notify families once we receive access codes to retrieve student testing reports.
Students that have not passed a STAAR test should sign up to come to STAAR Camp to receive tutoring and help in passing the STAAR exam(s). Students that have not passed a STAAR Exam are required by law (HB4545) to attend 30 hours of additional instruction and the hours that you spend working in STAAR Camp will count towards meeting your Accelerated Learning hours. We have awesome teachers ready to work with you!
This FREE camp will take place at Pin Oak Middle School from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm Monday, June 13th to Friday, June 17th. The schedule can be found on the summer school page on the Bellaire H.S. website.
STAAR EOC Retesting will take place from June 21st to June 23rd at Pin Oak Middle School.

The survey should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. Your feedback is anonymous. If you need assistance in completing this survey, please reach out to the Title I campus contact person at your child's school. Please remember: If all your children attend the same school, you only have to complete one survey.

Quiz Bowl Team
On May 27–29, 2022, 5 cardinals -- Sreedathan Menon (10th grade), Patrick Shaw (10th grade), Kevin Li (9th grade), Sidney Chang (11th grade), and Letian Li (11th grade) (pictured L to R) -- traveled to Atlanta to represent Bellaire High School in the thrilling Quiz Bowl National Championships. The team finished #144 among all 272 nationally qualified competing teams, the highest HSNCT ranking achieved over the past five years! We would like to send our sincere gratitude to everyone that supported the quiz bowl program this year and especially to our PTO that provided generous travel grants to make this trip possible.
Quiz bowl is a competitive, academic, interscholastic team activity. Quiz bowl teams use buzzers to answer questions about science, math, history, literature, mythology, geography, social science, current events, sports, popular culture, and more. The matches feature a blend of individual competition and team collaboration since no individual player is likely to be an expert in all subject areas. Participation in the quiz bowl both reinforces lessons from the classroom and encourages players to develop new intellectual interests.
We’re #cardinalproud of our teams and are preparing for competitions next year. Join the fun!

Class of 2022 Graduation
The Class of 2022 will graduate June 12th at 7:00 pm at NRG stadium. A common question is whether there will be a limit on the number of tickets per graduate. Historically this has not been an issue when graduating at NRG stadium, and we haven't heard any mention of a cap for this year. Invite everyone!

Juniors - Your Senior Yearbook Pictures
it’s time to start thinking about your senior yearbook portraits. Summer is a great time to get those taken care of so you can guarantee you’ll be included in the yearbook.
A few important things:
- You must take portraits through CADY in order to be included in the 2023 Carillon yearbook. You’ll have a choice between road shoots (two days CADY comes to Bellaire to photograph) or visiting their studio at Richmond and Wilcrest. Because the studio offers more options in terms of services, including backdrops and poses, and the limited number of on-campus spots, I strongly recommend you book a spot at the studio.
-
Please fill out this information form for CADY. This will allow them to send you appointment reminders, proofs and more. (While we did pass along the information the school has on file, we know you may have changed phone numbers or email addresses since then.)
-
For comparisons of the optional packages CADY offers, you can visit the Bellaire Carillon page dedicated to senior portraits. This page also has information on booking your portrait.
- You will notice there is a sitting fee associated with taking your photo. This is in part to discourage no-shows, which we have had a huge problem with in the past. Students have booked and missed multiple appointments, then we run out of times when we get close to the portrait deadline. The GOOD news is this sitting fee is applied to any order that you place. (This wasn’t the case in the past.) You’ll receive a coupon code when you get your proofs. If this fee is going to cause a barrier to you getting your picture taken, please reach out to me ASAP.
If you have any questions, please contact our yearbook sponsor Ms. Negri.
