Harmony-Emge School District #175

January 21st is 9th Grade Orientation for Belleville West ✨
Save the date and get ready for an exciting start to your high school journey.

The Belleville Middle Schools Winter Guard is open to any student who wants to try a new skill and possibly develop and prepare for the Belleville East and West High School Color Guards as they participate with the band and throughout the winter.

Parents, this is a great way to be a part of a positive team and create lifelong friends through the love of the pageantry arts! Please share with your student and see if they are interested. Come to tryouts and check it out. See the flyer for details.

We would like to congratulate Tyler and Jakaela on winning the City of Belleville Veterans Day Poster and Essay Contest this year. We are so proud of your hard work!

Are you missing your skates? These skates got left at Skate City on Monday.

📅 Mark your calendars! Here are some important dates for November and December!

🎁 Spread the Holiday Cheer!

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

We are excited to announce that District #201 is moving to online registration for the incoming Class of 2030! This new process will allow families to conveniently create their accounts, which is an extremely important first step in the registration process. This allows us to have accurate information for your family and your incoming 9th grade student in our secure student data system, Synergy.

Beginning October 29th, parents and guardians will have two weeks to complete the online registration process, with the portal closing on November 15th. During this time, you’ll be asked to enter important details such as student demographics, emergency contacts, health information, and any additional forms required by the district.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Ashley Cryder, Belleville West Counseling Co-Chair at acryder@bths201.org or (618) 222-7646.

Thank you for your cooperation and partnership as we move toward a more efficient and accessible registration process. We look forward to welcoming the Class of 2030!

A huge thank-you to everyone who donated to our Coat Drive! Your kindness is already making a difference for students in our district.

As the weather continues to get colder, we’ll continue accepting coat donations throughout the winter until we reach our goal of providing every student in need with a warm coat.

Up next, our Thanksgiving Food Drive starts this week!
We’re collecting non-perishable food items to help families in our community enjoy a wonderful holiday meal. Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference!

K–3rd: Check the flyer to see what your grade is collecting!
4th–8th: Any non-perishable items are welcome, see Flyer #2 for ideas that will help us build complete Thanksgiving baskets!

Big thanks to our generous donor for giving Halloween decorations to Mrs. Yarber’s 4th grade class! The students had a blast working on them and bringing some festive fun to their classroom. 👻

A huge congratulations to our October Character Kids! These students were recognized by our Board of Education for showing Respect and leading by example. To all of our Character Kids not in the photo, we see you and are proud of you too!

A huge shout out to McKay NAPA Auto Parts for supporting District 175 and our S.T.E.A.M. Lab! While we love using all of our equipment, powering them up with batteries gets expensive. McKay NAPA Auto Parts donated batteries to keep our program “energized!” The students and staff greatly appreciate your support.

Good morning District 175 Families! Our phone lines are temporarily down. Please email our secretaries if you need to report an absence or get in touch. We’ll share an update once everything’s back up and running!

Red-Ribbon Spirit week is next week!
Here are our spirit days.

Today, Mrs. Barbeau’s Kindergarten class learned all things pumpkin-we counted the seeds and added them together, learned that pumpkins float, but their fibrous strands sink (our predictions were wrong), we discovered that we can create a pumpkin patch for our pumpkins using clothes pins and popsicle sticks, and that the life cycle of a pumpkin goes on and on and on. It was a “gourd” time!

Our wonderful counselors have put together a Community Resource Guide to support anyone impacted by recent events. 💙
