Belview Elementary School

Posted August 20, 2004

Through an unprecedented collaborative effort between parents, teachers, interested community members, and the school administration, Belview Elementary School received a Comprehensive School Reform Grant from the Virginia Department of Education. During the first year of this grant, 2003-2004, the school began implementation of the Four Blocks Literacy Model and Everyday Mathematics. During the 2004-2005 school year teachers will continue to implement these instructional programs and to use Edutest to gather and analyze data in order to better meet the learning needs of each student. Belview is truly a community school and operates under the following philosophy: 'In the Belview Elementary School Community we expect to learn and learn to expect the best from ourselves and others.'

I absolutely love this school. The enrollment rate is incrediably low. The staff is totally awesome. All of my children have been through Belview. Rhonda Baker, Robyn Hylton, and Mrs. Bibbs are totally awesome.

I have a child attending Pre-K at Belview. He has speech issues, and the assistance, patience, and involvement I've experienced with the staff has been exemplary. They go above and beyond, and have been with me every step of the way in getting the best info and assistance for him. He's also very emotional, and I feared they might not have the type of patience with him that a mother has. However, they have seemed to see and love the same child that I know. They are sincerely as excited about any milestone he reaches as I am. I love how small Belview is. It seems that everyone at the school knows him, and it's a family environment. I can just tell how comfortable he is there. Peace of mind is something you can't buy. We're a military family, and it's going to be very hard to leave Belview behind.

I have had two children at Belview. Their teachers have been excellent and caring and class sizes are small. My only complaint is the excessive focus on the state SOL exams. In third and fifth grade classes, a very large percentage of instruction time is spent taking practice tests. A small number of parents are very involved and have done incredible work to update the playground.
