Last week new teachers kicked off the school year with New Teacher Orientation!
Belpre City Schools hired twelve new teachers this school year and two new therapists. New Teacher Orientation is a three day training for new teachers to learn about our Portrait of A Graduate competencies, classroom management techniques, and to dive deep into Belpre’s foundation of teaching and learning. The goal of New Teacher Orientation is to set new teachers up for success as they embrace the important job of teaching our Belpre students.
We can't wait for school to start next week! As a reminder, we will have staggered start by grade level on both Monday and Tuesday, with all students Grades 1 - 12 reporting on August 25, 2021. Kindergarten students will still have individual screening sessions next week as scheduled with the teacher.
