Belair Middle School will officially open on Jan. 6, 2025.
“After much anticipation, we are thrilled to open the doors of this new facility to Belair Middle School faculty, staff, and students,” said Dr. Kenneth Bradshaw, Richmond County Superintendent of Schools, in a news release. “While Hurricane Helene set our schedule back, we were pleased to find there was no damage to the new school building. Now that we are back on track, we can focus on transitioning our community to the new building as smoothly as possible.”
Belair Middle School will observe some changes to the academic calendar to ensure a smooth transition:
· December 19-20: Belair Middle School students will observe a Learn from Home day while staff move into the new building.
· Winter Break (December 23 – January 2): All RCSS schools and offices will be closed.
· January 3: Belair Middle School will host an Open House from 4 to 6 p.m., allowing families and community members to explore the new facility, locate classrooms, and review updated pick-up and drop-off procedures.
· January 6: All Richmond County schools return from winter break, and the new Belair Middle School will open at the new facility.
Students will have the same class schedules, teachers and bus routes at the new location to minimize disruption.
