CHSD Readies for New School Year

Although it's only July, the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District is preparing both parents and students to head back to school.

Parents of Bellmore-Merrick students will be receiving this year's parent’s guide and school calendar in the mail at the end of August.  The calendar includes important dates at each of the district's five schools as well as district-wide events and the dates of PTA meetings.

The first day of school is on Sept. 6. High school hours are from 7:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. and hours for the middle school are 7:56 a.m. to 2:41 p.m.

Orientation day for seventh and ninth graders who will be new to their school buildings is just one of several ways to help students to make smooth transitions to their new schools. Both orientation programs begin at 10 a.m. when students will meet the principals and other administrators at each school. Orientation is on Aug. 30.

Middle school "Back-to-School" night is set for Sept. 20 at 7 p.m., while high school "Back-to-School" night is scheduled for Sept. 22 at 7 p.m.
