Opening Message
Tips for Great Parent-Teacher Conferences
Betty Chu Pryor, Interim Lower School Head
Post Date: October 28, 2022
Next Monday and Tuesday, we will host our fall parent-teacher conferences. Every parent/guardian will have the opportunity to meet with their child’s teachers to set goals for the year, discuss their child’s progress, and ask questions. Having had the opportunity to participate in these meetings both as a parent and a teacher, I offer some practical tips to ensure meaningful and productive conferences throughout your child’s education.
- Plan ahead. Conferences are short, usually averaging 25 minutes. Write down a list of questions or thoughts that you would like to share with your child’s teacher beforehand to maximize your time together. Also, ask your child if there are any issues or wonders that they would like to share with their teachers.
- Keep track of time. Teachers often have back-to-back conferences scheduled. If you notice that time is almost up but have not gotten through all of your questions or topics, stop and make a plan to schedule a follow-up conference.
- Give yourself ample time between conferences. If you have more than one child in the school, although it might seem convenient to schedule back-to-back conferences, it is less stressful to include some buffer time. Allowing time in between conferences makes it less likely that you will have to end one conference prematurely or that you will be late to a subsequent meeting.
- Speak up, part 1. Teachers may use educational terms or mention curricula that are second nature to them but are unfamiliar to you. My husband, who is not an educator, has asked me questions such as “What is a CVC word?” after a conference for one of our children. Please do not hesitate to pause the teacher and ask for clarification. It will make it much easier to follow along if you understand exactly what is being discussed.
- Speak up, part 2. While the conferences at the beginning of the year were listening conferences, the fall and spring conferences are meant to be a dialogue between parents and teachers. Take the time to not only listen and get feedback from your child’s teacher, but share your own questions, ideas, and observations. Your child’s teacher will appreciate hearing how your child is at home, and it will be useful for you to find out what the teacher notices at school.
- Connect home and school. Explain what you are doing at home to further and supplement your child’s school experience. Similarly, ask your child’s teacher for ways that you can help your child achieve their goals at home based on the feedback you receive.
- Assume good intentions. This may be an obvious tip, but it is key in every conference—assume that your child’s teachers have the mutual goal of ensuring the success of your child. Most likely, you will hear positive feedback about your child’s progress, as well as learn about areas for growth and improvement. Be prepared by thinking about your child’s strengths and challenges beforehand. Also, remember that what you observe at home can vary from your child’s performance at school because the setting is different—a classroom of 15 students is not the same as the intimate 1:1 experience that your child has at home.
- Debrief and follow up. After the conference is over, talk about the information you heard with other family members or people who know your child well. In some cases, it may even make sense to discuss with your child what was brought up at the meeting. If there are topics that you would like to further pursue or revisit in the future, or if new questions or thoughts arise after your conference, please contact your child’s teacher and schedule a date and time to follow up.
We hope your parent-teacher conferences are fruitful and that they build on a positive home-school partnership for the school year!

FOOD PROGRAM NEWS
Helpful Guidelines & Policies Related to Nutrition at BDS
Through the first weeks of school both the kitchen and nursing teams have received a number of questions related to nutrition and food at Belmont Day.
Below are the areas most frequently inquired about:
Breakfast fuels the mind!
Belmont Day partners with families to ensure that students have nutritious and delicious foods, snacks, and hydration that fuel their learning, health, and wellness. Starting each day with breakfast improves concentration and increases energy, and it is expected that each student will eat breakfast before coming to school. We understand that for students who arrive at school early, this may be challenging. However, we urge families to plan ahead so that there is ample time to eat before leaving home.
Food Safety
Please remember that Belmont Day is a “nut-aware” campus.
- No foods containing peanuts or tree nuts are served in our food program or on school property.
- Bringing outside food items to school is strongly discouraged. If a student does require an outside food item, the school nurse must be notified in advance so the ingredients list can be reviewed and approved.
- The food program team works diligently to provide healthy, well-balanced snacks and lunch options for all students, and careful planning takes place to accommodate the specific health needs of students and faculty.
READ MORE
Allergies
- Snack and lunch modifications are made for students with diagnosed food allergies or autoimmune conditions.
- We encourage parents and guardians to partner with the school in educating children to be self-advocates if they have any concerns about the food being served to them.
- If signs and symptoms of an allergic reaction are observed, school personnel will immediately contact the school nurse who will attend to the student.
Hydration
Students should bring a labeled refillable water bottle to school each day. Filtered water stations are available where students can refill their bottles during the day. It is recommended that at the end of lunch, students refill their water bottles for the afternoon.
– Tara Lightbody, food program director, and Lauren Connors, BSN, RN, school nurse
INNOVATION NEWS
BDS Students Honored (Again!) by Do Your Bit Challenge
Congratulations to seventh graders Liv Dawson and Lucy Yin for being named runners-up in this year’s Micro:bit Do Your Bit Challenge. Liv and Lucy chose to tackle UN Global Goal 14: Life on Water, and specifically to target the sustainable fishing objective within that goal. Their project–the ‘Overfishing Weight Detector 3000’–is a device that can weigh the amount of fish on a boat to prevent overfishing.
This marks BDS’s third year entering the competition and our third consecutive first- or second-place finish in the North American region. For the first time this year, the project was moved from a grades 7 & 8 arts elective to part of the grade 6 technology curriculum. Because this shift meant the students had half as much class time to design their projects, I was curious to see what kind of ideas they would be able to produce. Like Lynn Lewis ’20, (2020 overall winner), Kenna Schneider ’21 and Margot Klug ’21, (2021 overall winners), and Alexander Colangelo ’21 and Noah Kokinos ’21 (2021 runners-up), Liv and Lucy found a goal they were passionate about and overcame space and time restraints to complete a project that left judges “impressed by the ambition of the idea and the solution.” To me, what these younger students achieved in a limited time might make this BDS’s most impressive win yet. Now that my lab is back open, I’m excited to see the IMPACT our students will continue to have on the global community.
– Kurt Robinson, assistant director of innovation and IMPACT Lab
CAMPUS TRAFFIC NEWS
Drop-off and Dismissal Traffic Concerns
We would like to remind parents and guardians of the utmost importance of our shared responsibility to ensure community safety during our daily drop-off and pick-up times. These are high-traffic periods for vehicles and pedestrians, and the risk of injury to students, faculty, and families is potentially high.
Since the start of the school year, faculty members who assist at drop-off and dismissal have witnessed and tried to stop various driver behaviors that could put others at risk. Please read our observations and follow the safety reminders compiled below:
Distracted Driving: Frequently, drivers are texting, reading, and talking on their cell phones while driving through campus. Please do not engage in these activities while driving on campus—or anywhere!
Follow Traffic Flow Directions: Please follow all instructions from those directing traffic. Our goal is to move vehicles through the line as quickly and as safely as possible. At the busiest times, we work to avoid traffic backing up onto Concord Avenue, which can raise concerns from our neighbors and the Town of Belmont, so please pull up as directed.
Stay in Designated Pick-up Areas: Please do not circumvent the pick-up line by pulling to the side and “standing” in the Coolidge parking lot and having your child meet you there. Students crossing through the parking lots with so many moving cars creates a potentially dangerous situation. Cars standing in the Coolidge lot also impede the flow of traffic.
READ MORE
Observe the 10 MPH Speed Limit: After the morning drop-off and afternoon dismissal, parents have been observed speeding through campus when there are no lines. Drivers should observe a 10 m.p.h. speed limit at all times.
Hi, Then Bye!: We love to say hi and catch up, but please avoid starting conversations with faculty or fellow parents in the drop-off and pick-up areas at peak times. Even a quick chat in line can have a big ripple effect.
Front Door Dismissal:
- Cars must line up in two lines along Coolidge Lane and then alternate entry into the front circle as directed by a faculty member.
- Do not park on Coolidge Lane during drop-off and dismissal times. Parked cars severely disrupt the flow of traffic during these times.
- Do not block the crosswalk where Coolidge Lane turns into the front circle.
- Do not speed up to jump ahead of the line. Please wait until turning into the front circle to wave to your child to come to your car. If students try to reach their cars before then, faculty directing traffic often cannot see children attempting to cross the inside lane to get to their car in the outside lane.
Safety is every community member’s responsibility. We ask for your cooperation by driving slowly, following directions, and avoiding distractions during pick-up and drop-off.
– Fred Colson, chief financial officer
Be Green. Don’t Idle.
We as a community have agreed only to idle our vehicles as we move through the pick-up and drop-off lines. If you arrive for pick-up or drop-off early, please turn off your engines and open your windows in warmer weather, and plan for cooler weather as we enter the colder months. At BDS we turn off our car engines to help conserve energy, promote good health, and model good citizenship. Not only that, Massachusetts has an anti-idling law that states:
“No person shall cause, suffer, allow, or permit the unnecessary operation of the engine of a motor vehicle while said vehicle is stopped for a foreseeable period of time in excess of five minutes.”
Every time you turn off your car engine instead of idling you will:
• Make the air healthier for our children and others by cutting down on hazardous pollution in your town or community.
• Help the environment. For every 10 minutes your engine is off, you’ll prevent one pound of carbon dioxide from being released (carbon dioxide is the primary contributor to global warming).
• Keep money in your wallet and save fuel. Save between 1/5 to 7/10 of a gallon of fuel for every hour of not idling.
Next week we will start a month-long design challenge for students of all grades to create a design for our next “NO IDLING MAGNETS”. Students will get more information about how to submit their own designs and artworks for this important community-wide message.
Thank you for being a steward of the environment and helping to keep us healthy.
– Kathy Jo Solomon, visual arts teacher and sustainability coordinator

Guidelines, Directions & Parking
Please remember that this is not a drop-off event. Parents are expected to keep an eye on their children to ensure that proper behavior is exhibited and that trash is thrown away in the trash receptacles. And please remember the following important guidelines for student conduct:
- Students are not to be unsupervised on the grassy areas around the field. These areas are dark and potentially unsafe. A parent must accompany a student to these areas. Volunteers will reinforce this rule, and we ask for your partnership in keeping this event safe for everyone.
- No food or drink is allowed on the turf field.
Address and Parking Information: There may be a charge for parking at the stadium, so please come prepared with cash just in case. The game will be played on the turf field behind Harvard Stadium (from North Harvard Street, enter and go past the Stadium towards Soldier’s Field Road). The stadium complex is at 65 North Harvard Street, Boston, MA 02163. Please see the map of the complex and driving directions. We will be playing on the field marked Jordan Field.
LIBRARY NEWS
Accessing the Erskine Library Catalog
Did you know that you can log in to the library catalog to see what books your student currently has checked out? The catalog can be found here. Additionally, any BDS family can search for books in the library’s catalog and request specific titles to be delivered to a student’s cubby from the comfort of their home by pressing the “hold” button next to any title.
Students in pre-kindergarten to grade 3 can logi n with their username, which is the first letter of their first name then their last name and year of graduation. For example, asprung28 (if Ms. Sprung were a third grader). The password is 1927 (the year BDS was founded).
Students in grades 4 to 8 can log in to the catalog with their BDS Google account.
If you have any questions about how this works or would like help, please contact me at asprung@belmontday.org.
– Amy Sprung, school librarian
COMMUNITY SERVICE
Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF
Belmont Day students, led by the sixth grade class, have long participated in the annual Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign. The donations collected have helped UNICEF in its work to ensure that every child is healthy, educated, protected, and respected.

Learning Updates
Arts Update: Middle School Students Produce New Songs
Students in the producing songs grades 7 & 8 arts elective class have been working on their keyboard skills. After spending some time working on the basics of successfully recording and editing MIDI, students began to construct their own multi-layered songs. Some were creating airy dreamscapes, and others working on dark, horror-inspired beats. We always encourage students to bring as much of themselves and their musical worlds as possible to projects. We can’t wait to hear what’s next!
– Tyler Cotner, music and ensembles teacher
PE Update: Parachute, Parkour, and Mission Impossible
Physical education teachers tend to appreciate all sports and see the benefit of a wide variety of activities. That said, there are certain units, or pieces of equipment, that we might have a soft spot for. The parkour unit is one of those units, and the parachute is one of those pieces of equipment.
In kindergarten, second and fourth grades, students recently got to play some of our favorite parachute games. The parachute requires a high degree of cooperation, and to accomplish a goal, like launching all the skittle balls off the ‘chute, students need to work together. Not to mention the precision it takes to send people spinning around the parachute on scooters.
Parkour, too, requires a high degree of precision. Pre-kindergarten, first and third grades learned to leap, vault, and land last week, putting all those skills together in the game of ‘Mission Impossible’ (a never-ending version of the floor is lava). Frequently throughout the gym were the words, “I did it!” quickly followed by, “What’s the next challenge?” Our students are definitely ready for their action movie slo-mo sequence.
– Alex Tzelnic, physical education teacher, coach, and mindfulness director
First Graders Study Local Indigenous Peoples
In Mr. Fox’s first grade class, students created an Indigenous Peoples Map. First graders learned what “indigenous” means and discussed Indigenous Peoples’ Day. First graders looked at a Land Acknowledgement map online to research which Indigenous peoples lived on the land that we live on and go to school on, now. First graders learned that before Belmont, Cambridge, Arlington, and other local communities existed as we know them, the land was lived on by different Indigenous peoples with their own languages and cultures, and who still live on this land. First graders cut out maps of their towns and shaded them based on our map key, explaining that different colors on the map represent different Indigenous communities.
– Geoffrey Fox, first grade teacher
Athletics Update: Clean Sweep for Cross Country
On a breathtaking fall afternoon in the final home meet of the season, Belmont Day’s cross country team attacked the home course in record fashion. The Blue & Gold finished 1st (Sam Leviton), 2nd (Kaden Flummerfelt), 3rd (Quinn Clark), 4th (Sebastion Colberg), and 5th (Ben Fleming) for a clean sweep and a dominating win against Shady Hill and Beaver Country Day. Equally as impressive as the final score was the fact that 14 Belmont Day runners PR’d, including Sohan Shah, Sarah Colangelo, and Clive Sutton who all knocked significant time off of their previous best. The meet was the final tune-up before the State Invitational on Saturday, November 5 in Devens, Mass.
– John O’Neill, director of athletics
Athletics News
- The boys’ varsity soccer team improved to (5-1-1) on the season following a 4-1 win over Fenn this week. Oliver Gottesman and Petros Samuel found the back of the net.
- The JV soccer team lost a hard-fought game to DCD. Bright spots for BDS were Zeke Fine’s hustle, Ariel Duan’s strong clears, and Maraki Shiferaws’ solid defensive play.
- Varsity football rolled over SSDS 55-28. Andrew Green tossed three TDs. Rami Flummerfelt (2) and Zach Kromah (3) had multiple scores. Ellis Anderson had a pick-six.
- Beaver needed a few BDS players to round out their roster, but walked away with a 4-2 win over the Blue & Gold. Griffin Targum stepped up in goal. Penelope Bern played great D.
- Quincy Triesman and Annika Vittal did everything but score during girls’ varsity soccer’s 0-0 draw against Nashoba. Kamila Ruiz made some key saves in net to preserve the shutout.
- JV football evened their record at 2-2 with a comeback win (33-27) over DCD this week. Jun Murakami was explosive at running back and Tadhg O’Sullivan shined on defense.
