There are reasons students choose their high school. Unlike elementary and junior high, where somewhat predictable patterns of inter-school movement happen, high school is, for many, a time of selection. So why did our students choose Bellerose? It could be that we recognize that a strong curricular focus is critical to our students' futures, and we are proud of the opportunities we offer to our full range of students to aspire to the highest level they can achieve. It could be that's why young people become Bulldogs, but there's so much more. Our students cite the teachers, the sports, the fine arts and the preparation for life that our varied and strong Career and Technology Studies courses offer. There's the facility - second to none in the area. There's the commitment to community and volunteerism. There's the spirit and the pride that comes from being a part of a tremendously positive, welcoming, inclusive school community. When a school has overwhelming support from its community as evidenced by our Board conducted surveys of all involved, you know you have a winning formula.

Bellerose Composite High School Open House Video 2012Please be aware that students should be dropped off in the STUDENT parking lot (the North Ridge side of the school), and NOT in the staff parking lot (the Bellerose school sign entrance). We also request that parents do not park in the staff parking lot. Each parking stall in our lot has been assigned to a staff member.
Parents that pick up students at the end of the day, please use the pick-up/drop-off area to park when waiting. Avoid using the no-stopping areas, as it creates tight spaces for the school buses to move through. Thank you for your understanding of these parking issues.
Parents/guardians sometimes choose to take students out of school for extended periods such as vacations, visits to relatives, assistance to the family, and so on. In such situations, the school does not grant permission for the absence. Parents/guardians must accept full responsibility for the detrimental effects of the absence. Regular class attendance is important to achievement. If an absence is planned during the school year, the student or parent should let both the school Administration and the various subject teachers know well before the absence. Within reason, the teacher will advise the student of what work will be covered during the absence. Teachers may give guidance and assignments that will reduce the negative effects of the absence. Students are responsible for making up the work missed within a reasonable amount of time. Please note that in virtually all situations, significant absences will have a detrimental effect on achievement.
