October 5th - 9th, 2026
L.D. Bell Families,
Wednesday, October 7th L.D. Bell is on a special bell schedule. This is a high-impact day across all grade levels, and student attendance is crucial for their success and post-graduation preparation:
Sophomores & Juniors: Students will take the PSAT or ASVAB. These exams are critical steps for college readiness, National Merit scholarship eligibility, and career path discovery.
Seniors: Students will participate in required senior trainings, post-high school planning, and School Voice activities. These trainings include graduation requirements for seniors. These sessions are essential for graduation readiness and transitioning to life after high school.
Please help us make this day successful by ensuring your student arrives on time and fully prepared. All students will need their fully charged chromebook on this day. Thank you for your partnership in supporting our Blue Raiders!
BELLieve,
Randy Belcher, Principal of L.D. Bell High School
