Interdistricts

Bellevue Union School District  includes Bellevue, Meadow View, Taylor Mountain and Kawana Springs Elementary Schools.

All sites offer free after-school care provided by our CoolSchool partners. Their team of professionals, including AmeriCorps members, provides our students with programming to compliment the instructional program during the school day. 

Our TK-3rd graders participate in "The Joy of Singing" during the school day and upper grades participate in songwriting and marimba. After-school, school sports teams compete in soccer and volleyball, the District offers piano (in partnership with Move Over Mozart) to students at all grade levels, marimba to 5th graders and Girls on the Run. We have partnered with the Luther Burbank Center for dance/movement, drama, drumming and ukeleles at various school sites throughout the school day.

Our Kawana Springs campus is home to our free Spanish Dual Immersion Program. The Dual Immersion program begins in kindergarten with classes being 90% Spanish and 10% English, and by 5th grade is 50/50 with all students finishing 6th grade being bilingual and biliterate. Dual language immersion programs equip students with world language skills to better appreciate and more fully engage with the rich and diverse mixture of cultures, heritages, and languages found in California and the world, while also preparing them to succeed in a global economy.

We continue to improve and modernize all our school sites, with updates to landscaping, playgrounds and the Kawana Springs kitchen/multi purpose room rebuild in progress and expected to be completed in 2024.
