🎬 A special #BettPride moment!
Two years ago, Bettendorf student Adrian Gillette, now a 9th grader, created the National History Day documentary FREADOM on Trial: Rights and Responsibilities in Island Trees Board of Education v. Pico.
Adrian’s documentary earned third place at the National History Day national contest in Washington, D.C. and has since been screened several times locally.
Now, Adrian’s work will be featured at the Bettendorf Public Library on Monday, where his documentary will be screened before a presentation by Stephen Pico, the subject of Adrian’s documentary.
The event is free and open to the public and is being held in recognition of Banned Books Week and the freedom to read. 📚
We’re incredibly proud to see Adrian’s work continue to educate and engage our community. We hope you’ll join him for this special event!

🛡️ Strengthening School Safety Together
This week, Bettendorf Community School District team members participated in training for Iowa’s new School Safety Assessment and Management (I-SSAM) Program. Representatives from each school and the district took part, helping us continue to build a unified, collaborative approach to student and school safety.
Led by the Iowa Governor’s School Safety Bureau in partnership with the Iowa Department of Education, I-SSAM provides Iowa K–12 schools with evidence-based practices for safety threat assessment and management.
School safety is a shared responsibility, and strong systems are built through strong teams, partnerships and preparation.
