24-25 handbook cover

To Students and Parents:

The Belgrade School District #44 Student Handbook contains information that students and parents are likely to need during the school year. The handbook is organized alphabetically by topic. Throughout the handbook, the term “the student’s parent” is used to refer to the parent, legal guardian, or other person who has agreed to assume school-related responsibility for a student.

The Student Handbook is designed to be in harmony with Board policy.  Please note that references to policy codes are included to help parents confirm current policy. A copy of the District’s Policy Manual is available online on the school district website and in the school office.

Superintendent’s Message

Welcome to the Belgrade School District.  This handbook is to acquaint you with the organization, policies, and procedures of your school. You and your parents must read this handbook and sign the online acknowledgement document in Infinite Campus. The rules governing our school are a result of the combined efforts of the Board of Trustees, Administration, faculty, students, and community.  We sincerely hope that each of you will have a successful and enjoyable year.
