In Belleville School District #118 we are committed to fostering a sense of belonging for everyone! This year, we are focused on strengthening connections throughout our entire community. A unique part of Belleville is our proximity to Scott AFB, and we are proud to welcome service members and their families into our schools.
To celebrate this important connection and just in time for Veterans Day, we're opening an online Military Appreciation spirit wear store! Please join us in showing our appreciation for all veterans in the Belleville community. Orders are due by October 19, 2025.

Great news Washington Families! Today will be the last day our parking lot will be closed off for families. On Monday, you will be able to access most of the parking lot for your convenience (except the southwest corner). We still need to install the fence for safety concerns.

The construction crews are making a lot of progress lately. The parking lot will likely be completed this week. They will be painting the lines very soon. Families will continue to utilize parking on the streets adjacent to Washington School until further notice. Please be mindful and not park in our neighbors' driveways. Again, our main objective is to keep you informed and everyone safe during arrival and dismissal. We appreciate your patience.

The construction crew is going to mill our parking lot to get it ready for completion. The parking lot will be completely closed off next week from Tuesday through Friday. We will all need to utilize parking, including staff and our school buses, on the streets adjacent to Washington School until further notice. Abend will have a section closed off by cones for those buses. Please do not park there. Again, our main objective is to keep you informed and everyone safe during arrival and dismissal.
