Bethel Local Schools - Educate with Excellence

Bethel Families: Middle School and High School students, who left behind personal items, can return to the building accompanied by a parent between 3pm and 9pm today to collect items from their lockers. Any items left in classrooms will have to be retrieved first thing in the morning tomorrow (10/22). As a reminder, school will resume tomorrow at our normal hours!

Dear Bethel Families, We had a small fire in the middle school restroom this morning. Nobody was injured and the fire was contained in one stall. However, due to the smoke in the bathroom and the hallways it triggered the fire alarm and everyone was evacuated and is accounted for. The Bethel Fire Department recommended that we not reenter the building today. Therefore we are sending middle school and high school students home now. Bus riders will be picked up in front of the school as normal. Parent pick will be behind the school at the old football stadium. Staff will be assisting with all our kids. We will resume school tomorrow at our normal hours. Elementary is not impacted by this and will finish their day at the regular time.

Quarterly Reward Week was buzzing with excitement at our elementary school! Students worked diligently to earn their 3 Bee slips, demonstrating exceptional behavior by BEEing Respectful, Ready, and Responsible! And what a sweet reward! Those who earned their 3 slips got a special visit from the one and only Candy Man! They enjoyed a tasty treat and were super excited. A huge welcome to our new assistant principal, Mr. Walker! He's been a fantastic addition to our staff, spreading positivity and enthusiasm throughout the school. We're so grateful to have him on board! Congratulations to our deserving students and a big thank you to Mr. Walker for making our Quarterly Reward Week a sweet success! #BethelLegacy
