Welcome Back!
Dear Mary M. Bethune Familes!
Welcome back to the 2020-2021 school year! We are looking forward to virtually meeting each of you and your children. I want to take a moment to say 'thank you' for your patience and understanding as the district and our school prepare for this unique start of the school year. Teachers and staff have been in professional development for the last three weeks preparing for the beginning of school so we, as a team, can deliver a high quality educational experience to our kids across preschool through 8th grades.
Throughout this bulletin you'll find information pertaining to our first day of school, a sneak peek at some of our new, innovative online leaning systems, how to change your address so you get the most up-to-date student information by mail and more. This bulletin will be one of many in the coming weeks to prepare our parents, guardians and students for a successful launch of the 20-21 school year. You're also being invited to a virtual family night where you can meet some of the staff, ask questions and learn more about virtual learning at Mary M. Bethune PK-8 School.
Thank you for choosing Mary Bethune and for trusting us to be your partner in education. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via the school phone at 216.838.2250
Educationally,
Melanie Nakonachny
Principal
