Message from the Principal

Dear Parents, Students, and the entire Belair Community,

On behalf of the faculty and staff of Belair Elementary School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to all. It is truly an honor and a privilege to serve as your K-5 principal. Each of us at Belair Elementary appreciates you entrusting us with your child(ren) as we work together to ensure the best year possible. I sincerely hope that you are excited about the upcoming school year, the opportunities, and the journey we are about to embark upon together.   At Belair Elementary School, we are committed to providing an innovative, rigorous, and exciting learning environment where students thrive, achieve, and excel academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. In the words of Carol Ann Tomlinson, “Excellence in education is when we do everything that we can to make sure they become everything that they can.” Our students deserve and equitable and quality education, and an opportunity to achieve academic excellence. I have no doubt that the Belair Elementary faculty and staff are equipped and willing to work diligently for the benefit of the students, parents, and community we serve.   It is my hope that all stakeholders are ready to embrace the great work ahead of us as it is most imperative for the conditions to be set for teachers to teach, and students to learn; which requires all stakeholders working together. Excellence in education is the collaborative effort and shared responsibility of the individual, home, school, and community. As we all share in the work of educating students, I believe every student will have an opportunity to learn and thrive at high levels, and all staff will be afforded the opportunity to educate our students at high levels.    One of my most favorite quotes by Clay Bedford is, “You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.” We want to ensure that our students have a hunger for learning, relish in challenging learning experiences that prompt curiosity and provoke thought, and produce students that are prepared for life beyond the classroom. I believe I am blessed with an awesome faculty to help realize our mission and vision, which will have a lasting and positive impact in the lives of every student we serve. I am honored to work with the parents, students, faculty and staff, and community this year as we make a positive difference in the lives of our students and this wonderful and growing community. The best is yet to come!  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us at 706-821-2766. We look forward to an incredible and successful school year!  

Sincerely,  

 Shetina Roulhac, Ed.S. Principal
