The teaching staff in each of our buildings participated in SIOP (Sheltered Instruction Observation Protocol) training this week! SIOP is a research-based model for lesson design that incorporates strategies to address both content and language needs for all learners, not just Multilingual Learners. After this interactive two-day workshop, our teachers have gained an overview of the SIOP model and strategies, which will boost academic achievement for every student! #BethelLegacy

Bethel Middle School’s 5th and 6th grade staff is excited to welcome all of our new students and families to the 2025-2026 school year! Our dedicated maintenance staff has been hard at work all summer, and they have done an amazing job making sure everything is ready for students and staff. The building looks fantastic—fresh, clean, and prepared for an incredible year of learning and growth. Moving back into such a historical and foundational building for Bethel Local Schools is truly exciting. We can’t wait to see the energy and enthusiasm our students will bring as we start this new school year together.

To help our students feel at home, we will be hosting our 5th and 6th Grade Open House/Orientation on Thursday, August 21st, from 4–6 PM. All 5th and 6th grade families will begin in Bethel Hall (large cafeteria at the back entrance of the High school) at 4 PM for a short presentation. Afterward, families will be released to explore the building, meet teachers, and locate lockers. This is a great opportunity to become familiar with the school, ask questions, and start building connections that will make the first day even more exciting. We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Schedules will become available for all Middle School students (5th-8th) via Progressbook on Monday, August 18th. If you need assistance accessing Progressbook, please refer to the attachment in this post. Hard copies of schedules will be available for all students during Open House/Orientation.

Enjoy the remainder of your summer and I look forward to meeting you all soon! Go Bees!

Sincerely,

Josh Sowder
