March 24-28 - Spring Break

We’re making incredible strides in literacy! Over the past three years, we’ve embraced the Science of Reading, invested in professional development, high-quality curriculum, and strengthened our summer reading programs. Most importantly, we’ve expanded our literacy coaches, who play a key role in supporting teachers and students. And it’s working—more Bethel students are reading at grade level than three years ago! Ensuring every student learns to read is equity in action, opening doors to future success.

We’re back! After a brief pause, Bethel School District has a brand-new Facebook page—and we need your help to rebuild our community.

📢 Head over to Facebook, search for Bethel School District, and hit “Like”! Since our new page is starting fresh, we have very few followers, and we want to ensure that our families, staff, and community stay connected.

Stay updated with important news, celebrations, and events by following us on social media:

Help us spread the word—like, follow, and share so we can continue reaching and celebrating our amazing Bethel community!
