City of Bellaire
COMMUNITY PATHWAYS PLAN
Background 
The City of Bellaire is creating a Community Pathways Plan with the goal of
improving bicycle and pedestrian travel throughout the City. Residents
responded to surveys in 2013 which revealed that pedestrian and bicycle paths
are a top need and priority. There have been many improvements and additions
of sidewalks in recent years and this plan will continue the effort to achieve a
more comprehensive, highly-utilized and connected pathway system. The plan is
to design and fund the highest priority bicycle and pedestrian locations identified
immediately after approval from City Council.

Resources 
A project website (http://bellairecommunitypathwaysplan.com/) has been created
to provide information about the project. The website also provides links to view
exhibits (http://bellairecommunitypathwaysplan.com/community-pathways-plandraft- exhibits) and to a survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RRRJVCT).

Public Input 
Please take a few minutes to take the survey (at the link above) to provide input
to and feedback on the plan. The survey is open through December 10, 2017.

You are also invited to attend a public meeting currently scheduled to take place
on January 9, 2017 at the CenterPoint Room (above the Bellaire Town Square
Family Aquatic Center).

Should you have any questions or comments, Please feel free to reach out to Ayo

Fall Finals Schedule - Winter Holiday Schedule
I thought that it might be helpful for you to know the schedule for Finals exams as you begin to prepare for holiday travel.  Students taking high school credit classes will be taking Final Exams during the week of December 18-21.  With the short grading cycle, most classes will be completing assignments and/or unit tests.  Absences during this period will be difficult to make up and will likely result in an INC (incomplete) on the report card.  INCs will disqualify students for participation in UIL Athletics and other activities.

The first day of Winter Break for students in Friday, December 22.

Please contact your child's teacher(s) with any questions or concerns.
