Bethel Families:
Ohio recently changed laws regarding attendance. This change shifts the focus from unexcused absences and truancy to supporting early intervention for all students at risk of becoming chronically absent.
The largest change families should take note of is that ALL absences, excused or not, count toward a student's yearly total. Families will now receive a notice when their student has been absent for 5% or more of the school year, and 10% puts a student above the threshold for Chronic Absenteeism.
Learn more about these changes to attendance on the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce website: https://education.ohio.gov/Topics/Student-Supports/Attendance-and-Family-Engagement?fbclid=IwcGRvZgFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETF0dFhSVlR2ZjBZaDdPSTQwc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHmB1fOauI_ijlKAoy2PPS_J2RXo3DQk5blkLEkoK4mdbVvUpVbv0obPr01aT_aem_VLmpNcNKxqBsr40J4PTGGA

Start With Hello Week!
Social isolation is the overwhelming feeling of being left out, lonely, or treated like you are invisible. Isolated young people can become victims of bullying, violence, and
depression. As a result, many pull away from society, struggle with learning and social development, or choose to hurt themselves or others.
This year, Bethel's Middle Schoolers (5-8 graders) will be participating in Start With Hello Week. Start With Hello brings attention to the growing epidemic of social isolation and empowers young people to create a culture of inclusion and connectedness within their school and community. Students will be participating in different activities throughout the week.
Start With Hello Week is September 21-25, 2026, and the activities each day are as follows:
Monday: Students will engage with their classmates in a Bingo Game to create connections and engage with their peers.
Tuesday: “No one eats Alone” Students will learn about ways to take action to build an inclusive community.
Wednesday: Students will learn what it means to be an Upstander
Thursday: Students will share positive messages with their peers.
Friday: Students will wear green and take the pledge to show empathy and reach out to others when they see they are alone.
If you have any questions about Start with Hello Week, please reach out to Ms. Waller (wallerg@blsk.org) or Mrs. Samuels (samuelsb@blsk.org).

Attention Elementary Parents,
Just a reminder of the K-4th grade school hours this year.
🌞Arrival 7:55 - 8:12. The tardy bell is at 8:15, which means students must be in their classrooms ready for the day by 8:15. If you are dropping your child off after the teachers enter the building, you need to walk your child into the building and sign them in.
🏠Dismissal begins at 3:05, and all students must be picked up by 3:20 each day.
The car line is going more smoothly each day. Thank you all for helping with this process so that it is safe for all students.
