First Week of School News
We are so happy to have you as part of our Bethesda family for the 2023-2024 school year.
We all made it through the heat, the new routines and the crazy lunch lines! As always, things will start to flow much easier after the first week and thankfully, we have amazing staff, students and parents all working together to make this year start out successful!
We have had a number of families ask about Spirit Wear - the PTO will have more information about that soon! On that note Culvers night was a success! Thank you to all that came out to support! It is always so much fun seeing families and teachers outside of school! We also want to give a HUGE Shout out to Mrs. Boyer for volunteering to deliever food and ice cream!
A few IMPORTANT Reminders as we get under way:
Students need to be dropped off at their grade level doors no sooner then 8:30am. No students should be in the lobby for any reason. If there is inclement weather, the teachers will let students in early but not sooner then 8:30am.
Pick up is the same. Pick up your child at their grade level doors or designated location no later then 3:50pm. There is no supervision after 3:50pm.
Each week, we'll send home a newsletter with important information. Please take a few minutes to read through the newsletter to keep up-to-date with what's happening at Bethesda!
We had some updates to our Bethesda FAQ, which is a great place to find many of the questions you may have throughout the school year which can be found on the school website.
Also, the entire school district got a website makeover during the summer. One noticeable change is that our school calendar is more user-friendly, so you can see upcoming items right on the main page!
