This guidance has identified some sports as safe to play and some sports as “practice only.” Summer is here, and we hope you are enjoying this time and weather. Normally, we pause this newsletter during the summer but we wanted to continue to communicate with ourBelmont families during this unique and important time, knowing you want to know about school in the fall and what it will look like.Therefore, we will be updating the community throughout the summer via emails and the newsletter as well as posting information on the front page of the BPS website.
