Principal Julie Piper presented a school spotlight for Belleview Elementary, which she said has transitioned to a K–5 configuration and currently enrolls 293 students. Piper described curricular supports (music, gym, art, STEM), after‑school offerings (a green team, leadership, girls and boys groups, knitting), family engagement events, and targeted instructional practices such as I‑Ready instruction, weekly PLCs and instructional coaching.
Piper said the school set proficiency goals tied to I‑Ready and M‑STEP data and described targeted intervention and small‑group instruction for students performing below grade level. She also noted a $1,000 Mimic popup grant awarded to a teacher (split $500 to the classroom and $500 to the building) and recognized library and culinary successes at the high school.
Board members commended the staff and asked clarifying questions about program frequency and mentoring; Piper confirmed weekly meeting cadence for those student groups.
