Be Here Day

Belen Consolidated School Families,

At BCS, we are fortunate to receive federal funding that helps us support our students in many important ways. Each funding source has specific guidelines for how it can be used, and your input plays a valuable role in helping us make the best decisions for our school community.
We warmly invite you to participate in our annual family survey. This is a wonderful opportunity to share your thoughts on how funds are currently being used and to let us know what priorities you would like us to consider for next year.

Your voice matters, and your feedback helps us better serve our students and families. Thank you for taking a few moments to complete the survey—we truly appreciate your time and partnership! Click on the link to access the survey.
