Dear Bel Aire Family, It is a great honor and privilege to be named the Principal of Bel Aire Elementary. I look forward to cultivating positive relationships with families and the community. Bel Aire Elementary is a little gem and I am delighted to serve the wonderful student body, dedicated faculty and staff, and supportive community. Last academic school year was like no other, but our students, teachers, and staff proved to be resilient and hardworking. Thank you to each of you for supporting our school community, and our students’ continued achievement and success even in these unprecedented times. This year, we will need each other more than ever, as our community, our country, and our world navigate the challenges confronting us. But be encouraged because even with the challenges we face while embarking upon this 2020-2021 academic school year, know that we endeavor, with greater purpose and intentionality to provide our students with the tools and education needed to help them be successful, whether in a virtual or traditional learning environment. We will continue to be creative, flexible, and innovative to “Have a Seussical Year!” Please know that we are here to serve you and to meet the academic, social, and emotional needs of all our students. I encourage you to continue to partner with us throughout the year by visiting our school’s website often to remain abreast of school news, activities, and events, joining our school’s PTO, as well as take advantage of the many opportunities that will be provided for you to become actively involved in your child’s learning journey. Sincerely,

YOLANDA G. OLIU, Principal
