The following letter went out to all MNPS families this past week and we wanted to make sure you got these important changes on your calendar!
MNPS Families,
Public schools in Tennessee are required by law to make our buildings available as polling sites for elections. Because the state decided after the school year had already started to schedule a special election this fall, we must adjust the 2025-26 school calendar. The district did not have input into these election dates, which are October 7 for the primary and December 2 for the general election. We have worked with stakeholders to develop a calendar that minimizes the impact on staff and families, and the Board of Education approved these changes yesterday during their regularly scheduled Board meeting.
Calendar Changes:
Tuesday, October 7, 2025 – No Students. Stockpile Professional Development Day.
Friday, October 10, 2025 – No Students. Stockpile Day; no school-based staff report.
Tuesday, December 2, 2025 – No Students. Stockpile Professional Development Day.
Tuesday, January 6, 2026 – Students Report. Regular school day (previously a Stockpile PD Day).
These changes reduce the number of reserved inclement weather days from six to five. If more than five closures are needed, MNPS may implement up to two remote learning days. If required, on those days students will receive instruction and assignments through district-supported platforms. Additional guidance and resources will be provided later this fall to help staff and families prepare for this possibility.
We will share additional guidance later this fall to help families prepare for the possibility of remote learning.
We know families and staff make plans around the school calendar, and our goal is to minimize disruption while keeping safety and instructional time as top priorities. We did not learn of these election dates until after the start of the school year, which is why we are required to amend the calendar now.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Full UPDATED MNPS District Calendar is HERE!
One of our Gold Level PTO sponsors, Tiff's Treats, has a special "treat" for all WBES families! When you order online, use the promo code: WB20 for 20% off your pickup OR delivery order through June 20th, 2026! Limit one use per email address. Just another sweet way our community supports WB families.
As the weather changes and you clean out your student's closets, remember that Waverly Belmont is a UniCycle school! UniCycle is school uniform recycling program that orchestrates the collection and redistribution of gently-used clothing to provide Standard School Attire (SSA) to Metro Schools students who need it. They collect “outgrown, not worn out” items and then distribute them to WB&MNPS students who are in need of SSA approved items!
There is a collection bin just inside the front door of the school waiting to receive your items. Volunteers collect the basket when full, and clothes are carefully screened, cleaned, organized and then sent home to students in need, per request of the HERO staff or other MNPS personnel. This is an amazing way to help other students by passing along cothing items with life left in them!
Also, a quick reminder to have your student check the school Lost and Found for items they may have left behind. Unclaimed lost-and-found items do make their way to the Unicycle closet if they are not claimed.
The WB WatchDOGS will begin their 2025/2026 year with a kickoff event on September 15th at 6:30pm. The event will be held at 2408 Oakland Ave, Nashville, TN 37204.
If you are a dad/step-dad/male caregiver of a WB student and you want to join this incredible pack of rolemodels, check out the info below! Got questions? Reach out to watchdogswb@gmail.com or click HERE to RSVP for the kickoff event.
WATCH D.O.G.S.® (Dads Of Great Students) is an innovative father involvement program offered by the National Center for Fathering. This program focuses on safety and education by using the positive influence of fathers and father-figures for a two-fold purpose: (1) to provide an unobtrusive fathering presence, and (2) to provide a positive and active role-model for students at the school. Fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers and uncles are asked to spend at least one day at their student's school volunteering. They will support the school through monitoring the school entrance, assisting with unloading and loading of buses and cars, monitoring the lunch room, or helping in the classroom with a teacher's guidance either working one-on-one or in small groups. Today thousands of school programs world-wide participate in WATCH D.O.G.S.® helping to engage men, inspire children, reduce bullying and enhance the educational environment at school.
