Registration is now open for Belton ISD’s summer academic programs that aim to keep students excited about learning year-round.

“We’re approaching this summer with a growth mindset,” said Holly Moore, director of intervention and accountability. “Our summer programs are open to all students across the district, and our goal is that all students can develop their talents and learn new skills through hard work, good strategies and perseverance — all while having fun.”

Parents should register students based on their current grade level. Families new to the district for the 2023-2024 school year are also eligible to register. Learn more about all summer programs offered by Belton ISD and register at www.bisd.net/summer2023.
