Dear Students,

Wednesday, March 11, is an early release day for Belmont High School, and the BHS Student Senate is planning Community Day Activities for part of the day.

You will attend A & B Block Classes as normal, followed by two Community Building Activities, one session in your B Block classroom and one “student choice” session where students will participate in 1 of 6 planned activities(see schedule below). For the Student Choice Session, please fill out this form to indicate if there is an activity you would prefer to attend during this time. Fill out the form by Wednesday, 3/4/2026, at 2:30 pm. Students who don’t fill out the form will be assigned to an activity. (If you have a B Block free, you will also be assigned a classroom for that session)

Following the Community Activities, there will be a full school Pep Rally in the Field House to celebrate BHS Winter Sports, Clubs, and Activities. The Pep Rally will end at 11:00, when the school day is dismissed, but all students are invited to stay after the pep rally for a Student vs. Staff Basketball Game.
