Bucket Fillers - BEST YEAR EVER!
THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST YEAR EVER. A BLUE RIBBON YEAR IN COUNTLESS WAYS. SO MANY NEW INITIATIVES/TRAINING. WE ASK A LOT - AND YOU CONTINUE TO ASK HOW CAN WE SUPPORT OR IMPROVE? THANK YOU, MT. BETHEL!
- A STANDING OVATION to EVERYONE!!! This has truly been an incredible year! All of the hard work and commitment EVERY STAFF MEMBER put forth on behalf of all of our students is appreciated and celebrated. It is true: Teamwork makes the dream work!
- AMAZING APPRECIATION TO OUR SCHOOL CULTURE PLC! Tuesday's party at Red Sky was perfect!
- TAKE A BOW, Fifth Grade Team!! Awards Day was amazing, the walk was lovely, and you will send our Buccaneers on to Middle School after an amazing six or seven years!
- BEST WISHES AND LOTS OF LOVE to those moving on to new adventures next year! We will miss you and are grateful that you served our Buccaneers. Each and every one of you made a significant impact on our school!
OUR PTA & FOUNDATION ROCK!
NEWS FROM THE A-TEAM
SUMMER COMMUNICATION
Please unplug this summer - but do check email one time per week. If there is critical information that you need to know, we will send out a text via Remind to let you know!
If you are leaving Mt. Bethel and wish to leave the group texts, reply to any of the Remind Texts from Mt. Bethel Staff with @LEAVE. All non-Mt. Bethel staff will be removed after summer.
If you are leaving MBES and going to another Cobb school, The District automatically changes your distribution list access. If you continue to get MBES emails after the school year begins, you will need to submit a work order to have your name added to/removed from DL-Lists.
SUMMER BUILDING HOURS
Put this date in your heads: We will likely not allow entry before July 17th.
