• Bells School first opened in 1967. Split sessions were held during the first year because construction of the building was not complete. The official opening of the school occurred in September 1968 and the building housed students in kindergarten through grade 6. The first principal was Mr. Howard Hausmann.

    As the population of the district increased, portable classrooms were added to the building. In the spring of 1996, a new addition was built, adding an art room, gymnasium, music room, library, four additional classrooms and rooms for small group instruction. A state of the art computer lab, which is networked and Internet accessible, was also added.

    Academic Achievement – Student achievement is evaluated through the use of multiple measures. These include LinkIt Common Assessments, iReady Diagnostic, iReady MyPath, Formative and Summative Assessments, along with continual data analysis.
     
    Participation and Recognition – The staff at Bells School encourage participation in a wide range of activities. Students may also choose from a variety of co-curricular activities:the vocal and instrumental music programs, and the Safety Patrol. All students display artwork in the annual school-wide Art Show.
     
    Quality Staff – The professional staff at Bells School continually refine and update their teaching skills through participation in professional development programs and graduate coursework. 
     
    Parent and Community Involvement – Parent involvement is greatly encouraged through participation in classroom activities. The Home and School Council supports the educational program through sponsorship of assemblies, the Book Fair, and student recognition programs, PAW PRIDE. The ongoing support and cooperation of the parents, community members, and the school staff creates a nurturing learning environment, which prepares the students to become successful, productive members of society.
