BHCS Charter Chatter

Open Enrollment Period:

BHCS will take applications for potential students starting January 4, in order to be considered in the March Lottery. All applications must be completed and turned in by February 28.

Students who wish to be considered for “Priority Status” will need to turn in their applications during the open enrollment period. (Priority Status is for students who 1. are a child of staff member, 2. are a sibling of a current student, 3. live in the original Bethel Hill district, 4. have legacy priority - meaning they are a sibling of students that completed the highest grade offered by the charter school and were enrolled at least four years at the charter school)

If a priority student does not turn in their application during the open enrollment period, they will be considered along with all other applications that are received after the close of open enrollment.

Be on the lookout for a link on our school website (www.bethelhill.net) to a “parent information meeting” pre-recorded video and available tour dates.

Application:

All BHCS applications for admission will be online this year. In the event a family does not have access to the internet and/or working e-mail, they can come to the school to receive assistance with the application process.

Applications can be accessed through the BHCS website.

**Students who are still on our waiting list will need to fill out a new application to be considered for the March lottery.**

Questions:

If there are questions, please contact the school. We look forward to continuing to serve our community and laying the foundation for individual excellence!

The school spelling bee will be an oral spelling bee where participants will be given words to spell out loud. We will follow Scripps National Spelling Bee guidelines. Students in grades 3-5 will have the opportunity to participate. In order to prepare for the school-wide spelling bee, our classroom bees will be held during the week of December 4, 2023 on a day and time that is most convenient for your child’s classroom. Two students from each classroom bee will have the opportunity to advance to the school bee on January 11, 2024. Good luck to everyone!
