Bethel Local Schools - Educate with Excellence

Hello Parents! There has been a change to the Kindergarten graduation date and last day of school: Kindergarten Graduation is now on Wednesday, May 15th from 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. in the Bethel High School gym. This will also be the last day of school for Kindergarten and Young 5's. Young 5's will have an End-of-the-Year Celebration in their classroom on May 15th. Your child's teacher will send home more information about graduation as we near the end of the school year. Thank you, Mrs. Hogan.

Congratulations to our B3 winners of the week! These students had their tickets chosen. They earn tickets by showing the three school rules of being responsible, respectful, and ready to learn. Keep up the great work!

What an awesome glow party today! The kids had a blast! A special thank you to all the parents who donated items to make this day possible. We still have one more PBIS reward in May. We will start hyping that one up after we return from spring break. Encourage your child to earn their bee slips so that they can be a part of the 4th quarter reward!

The elementary students had a glowing good time at our glow party reward for good behavior! Thank you to everyone who donated supplies to make this PBIS reward a hit! #BethelLegacy

Reminder: Bethel High School and Middle School will have a remote learning day on Tuesday, March 19th, due to election polling taking place in Bethel Hall! Students will stay home and will have an assignment for each class. Assignments will be given the preceding day or may be posted on Google Classroom. Teachers will be available during school hours to answer questions via email. Additionally, Middle School Students will need to log on to their Google Classroom for their first-period class, and "check-in" by 8:00am. If this is not completed by 8:00am, students will be counted as absent. Students can refer to their first-period teacher to understand how their "check-in" will operate. Buses will run from Bethel to the MVCTC; however, students who attend the CTC will be responsible for their transportation to and from Bethel. Bethel Elementary School will be unaffected by election polling. If Bethel Local Schools is your polling location, please park in the rear parking lot of the High School and enter the building through the Hive doors. #BethelLegacy
