Dear Bethany Families,

Thank you for all of your support as we opened school full-time, in-person for the first time since March 13th of 2019! We've been through a lot in those 500+ days as individuals, families, communities, a country, and world citizens. I hope that Bethany will be a place of joy, acceptance, and love for your children each day; a place to thrive and grow academically, socially, and emotionally together among their peers and our dedicated staff.

Our #1 goal right now is to keep schools open and operating safely. THANK YOU for preparing your children so well for following the protocols and being considerate of those around them. Beyond the need for innocent reminders, there have been no issues among students and their willingness to follow instructions. Your kids are amazing!!

Enjoy some time to rest and get ready for a 5-day week ahead. Read below for information regarding Curriculum Night and more. THANK YOU FAMILIES. I'm grateful for YOU every day too! 🙂

* No pets. It is beautiful weather and a great way to take your dog out for a walk. Please remember that we do have small children who are afraid of dogs, or are allergic. If you want to walk your dog, we encourage you to meet your students at the crosswalk or off of campus.

3. Car Pick-up Line: Please remember to stay in your car if you park along the sidewalk. If you are picking up your child from their classroom door, we ask that you park in a designated parking spot. Students must get in and out on the passenger side of the car.

4. Crosswalk in Front Of The School: If you park and walk your child to their classroom, please cross the parking lot using our crosswalk. We have cars who are dropping off students and they may not see you if you come out between parked cars.
