Dear Belmont Students and Families,

First Day and Week

The school year begins on Tuesday, September 3rd for grade 9s (9:00am -11:50am) and for all grades 9-12 on Wednesday, September 4th (all students will attend the full day). There will be extra help available on the first morning of school, particularly for grade 9s who may not be as experienced with the portal and building as grades 10-12.

Before arriving on their first day, students need to check their schedules. Schedules will not be printed off. Schedules are subject to change right up until the start of classes as we are reconfiguring classes to accommodate new registrations.  Instructions on how to access the portal and view your schedule can be found here. If you have difficulty accessing your account, you can view instructions on resetting your password here  (make sure to use the ‘forgot my password’ link and keep in mind that you need to remember the email address you usually use to sign into the portal). If you continue to have difficulties, please email belmontmyedportalsupport@sd62.bc.ca.

Belmont’s bell schedule can be found online here. There is no block rotation during the first week.

Schedule Changes

Counsellors will not be making changes to schedules during the first week, unless:

-a student has ‘See Counsellor’ note in their schedule in Semester 1,

-a student is missing a class in Semester 1, or

-Grade 12s are missing a Graduation requirement.

After the first week, the only changes is if a student is missing a Graduation requirement.

Parking and Student Drop Off and Pick Up

We ask students to walk, bike, or take a school or city bus to school. Students who choose to drive will need to park in the parking available at the lot below Goudy Field and along the Langford Parkway. To lessen traffic congestion in the morning and after school, we encourage parents to drop off or pick up students from one of the pull-out areas along the Langford Parkway or the Glen Lake Road area.
