L.D. Bell Families,
We are officially entering Week 5 of our first six-week grading period, with just nine school days remaining before six weeks grades are final.
This is a wonderful opportunity to partner with your student, celebrate their hard work, and chat together about their academic progress. Staying connected with their journey is easier than ever through the Skyward App. You can track real-time grades and even set up custom notifications for individual assignments and overall class averages.
Skyward Family Access - Allows parents to check student grades.
Together, let's keep the momentum going and help our students finish this first grading period with confidence!
BELLieve,
Randy Belcher, Principal of L.D. Bell High School

Brown Trail is currently restricted to one lane in each direction. To ensure the safety of our community and maintain traffic flow, no parking, drop-off, or pick-up on Brown Trail. Only traffic heading South on Brown Trail toward 183 allows for access to the front circle loop and the Brown Trail/Raider Way entrance. This impact will be through early September.

Traffic Flow: Enter while traveling south on Brown Trail. Pull completely to the curb in the far-right lane and exit back onto Brown Trail.
Safety Protocols: Unload students from the right-side curb lane only. Keep the left lane clear for exiting vehicles. Do not leave vehicles unattended in the loading line.
Best For: Traffic approaching from the north and heading south on Brown Trail.
Staff/Student Lot (Drop-off in the Student/Staff Lot)
