Now that MAP testing is complete, we encourage parents to provide time each week for their children to access the on-line Compass activities that are individualized for every child who took MAP testing.  This web-based computer program provides differentiated instruction to meet the needs of every learner regardless of ability levels, and use of the program can help students in meeting their yearly MAP goals.  Compass can be accessed by clicking on the link on the Bethel website.

Don't forget to join the PTA!

We currently have 625 memberships sold which puts us 261 memberships away from reaching our goal of 100%. We have had 100% membership at our school for 32 years in a row – please help us to reach our goal! You should have received a membership form in your folders on Meet the Teacher night – if you would like to have another one, please contact Stephanie Yearwood at glocksandthe3bears@gmail.com. Don’t forget that you can join more than once if you are able. We appreciate your ongoing support!

Conferences

All parents will be invited to attend a conference with their child’s teacher this month.  Please be looking for this information to come home.  We usually have 100% attendance from our parents!  Research shows that children achieve more when their parents are actively involved in their child’s education.  Please let us know if we can answer any questions.  Thank you again for your support!

We have a Chick-fil-A Spirit Night planned for Tuesday, October 2^nd from 5-8:00 pm. We will receive a portion of the profits. Please be sure to mention Bethel when ordering!

Original Art

Students have been hard at work in their art classes working on Original Art. This is an annual fundraiser where 100% of the profits go right back to the art department. Your child’s artwork will come home with an order form in a couple of weeks. Please be on the lookout. You can use this opportunity to order Christmas gifts for your children to give to family members with their artwork on it. Orders will be back in time for Christmas. If you have any questions, please contact Kelly Radecki at mkradecki@charter.net or Stephanie Yearwood at glocksandthe3bears@gmail.com.

Box Tops Contest

October 31^st is our next Box Tops deadline. The class with the most Box Tops will win 10 minutes of extra recess. Please ask your grandparents, aunts, uncles, family friends and anyone else you can to save their Box Tops. Have your children create a cute container for them to collect them in. Our school wide goal for this year is to collect 100,000 Box Tops. This means $10,000 for our school! If we can do this then the entire school will win a school wide dance party!!!!
