Placement for 2017-18
Optional Parent Placement forms available for parents in office.
If you have a student at Mt. Bethel, we will place a form in your box within that window for you to provide placement input. You will be asked to request three names of teachers with whom you think your child will be successful.
We do not honor placement meetings and request that you not hold them, either. If you need specific verbiage, refer to a previous issue of the Messenger.
PURGE - PACKING IS COMING SOON!
