Open House
I hope you will join us at the upcoming PTA Open House on Monday, September 9th at 6:30 pm.  We will begin with a brief PTA meeting in the cafeteria, and we will have two classroom visitation sessions where teachers will share important information regarding the school year.  Please make every attempt to attend.  Research shows that students achieve more when parents are actively involved at school.

MAP Testing Begins Tuesday
During the month of September many of our students will take MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) testing in reading and math.  This computerized test will be given to all students in grades 2-5 and some 1st graders.  Your child’s teacher will communicate the testing dates to you.  Results will be sent home as soon as they are available.

Our next spirit night takes place on Tuesday, September 3rd from 5:00-8:00 pm at Chick-fil-A on Woodruff Road.  Please make sure to mention you are with Bethel when ordering.  Bethel will receive 20% of all sales from 5-8:00.

Boosterthon Kicks Off Wednesday
Our PTA will kick-off their major fundraiser beginning September 4th.  We will have a pep rally with students to share information about the Boosterthon Fun Run.  Students will collect pledges and participate in the Fun Run on September 13 at Bethel.  Boosterthon will promote fitness, leadership, good character, and fun!  Parents are encouraged to attend the Fun Run for their child’s grade level on September 13th – K/1st (8:15-9:15), 2nd/3rd & PMA (9:25 – 10:25), and 4th/5th & IMA (10:35-11:35).  You won’t want to miss it!

Parent Portal
Parent Portal passwords were sent home in Meet the Teacher packets.  Please be sure you login and use this amazing resource to monitor your child’s school information.  For students in grades 2-5, parents can see all grades as they are posted in the teacher’s grade book.  This is a great way to stay informed regarding your child’s progress.

PTA Memberships
Don't forget to purchase a PTA membership for $5!  We are counting on your assistance to help Bethel reach 100%.  In order to do this, we ask that you join for each child you have at Bethel.  You should have received a membership form in the packet distributed at Meet the Teacher.  If you need another form, please contact your child’s teacher or you can download a form from the school website.  If you have questions, contact Kelly Radecki at mkradecki@charter.net.
