Updates from Principal Susie Askew
Thank you, Sentinel students, families, and staff!
What an end to a school year!! If there was ever a group of people deserving of a summer break it is all of us. Take time to soak up some sun, rest, and breathe deeply.
Over the course of the next few weeks, planning for the fall will take place. As soon as I have an update, I will be sure to share. Any information pertaining to the fall can be found on our website, facebook page, or via our newsletter which we will email to you. Please make sure your contact information is up to date. We have emailed you regularly for the last few months, so if you have not received it, please let us know by emailing: slhs_registrar@bethelsd.org
Have fun this summer, and remember to be healthy and safe, for yourselves and for those around you.
Much love,
Principal Askew

Bethel School District Family Feedback Survey
Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, this fall our district will be facing many unknowns. As we await guidance from the state, we have been pre-planning as much as possible around the start of school for the 2020-2021 academic year. Before decisions are made, we want to hear from parents and students to help inform the many decisions we will have to make.
