Welcome to Bellevue Community School District

Welcome to Bellevue Community School District where we work collaboratively with students, parents, staff, and community to provide a culture of excellence. Together we provide a safe and enjoyable learning environment where students can engage in a variety of activities to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing the resources and support needed for each student to be successful. High expectations and accountability help ensure that our students will be successful in school and beyond. 

An outstanding preschool for both 3 and 4 year old students provides a great start to our children’s education. In addition, Bellevue Elementary develops the whole child through various interactive and engaging learning programs. Our 1:1 computer program for children in grades 3-5 along with our iPads for students in grades K-2 help enhance students learning opportunities through technology. Some specific programs that assist our students in their learning in elementary school are Everyday Math, the Daily Five for literacy, Problem-Based Learning experiences where students apply learning through critical thinking skills, FOSS Science kits and FAST Assessments.

Bellevue Middle School builds on the programs at Bellevue Elementary with a 1:1 computer program and adds emphasis on the applications of reading, writing, and computation. This is done through exploratory classes, technology resources, challenging foundational classes, Problem-Based Learning and many “hands-on” learning activities. 

Bellevue High School enhances that learning with a continued 1:1 computer program for all students and with unlimited opportunities to take college credit courses online through Eastern Iowa Community College and some courses on site as well. Additionally, demanding core instruction and offering an array of vocational classes, along with emphasis on hands-on learning and application of learning through Problem-Based Learning experiences in all curricular areas leads to our students' success. 

The district is committed to providing high expectations for all staff and students and creating an enjoyable and collaborative learning environment for our students to thrive. We strive to work collaboratively with our parents and business partners throughout the community to serve each child and help them reach their full potential throughout their school years and beyond. Bellevue is truly a school district and community that puts students first and gives them the resources they need to be successful in life. Thank you for visiting our webpage, we would love to have you come visit the school in person as well.

Believe in the Blue! Believe in Bellevue!
