As we get ready for upcoming classroom celebrations, we want to thank our families for helping make these events special! To ensure a safe and smooth experience for all, please note the following guidelines for party volunteers:
- No younger siblings may attend with volunteers.
- Parents may not sign out additional siblings past 3pm on party days.
- All volunteers must bring a valid photo ID to the office to sign in through the RAPTOR system before volunteering. If you’ve not been entered into the RAPTOR system yet this school year, please come in PRIOR to the day of the party to save time.
- Teachers are limited to a maximum of 3 parent volunteers per classroom.
- Only parents who have been scheduled in advance by the teacher may volunteer—please do not show up on the day of the party without approval.
Thank you for supporting our students while helping us keep celebrations safe and fun for everyone! Go Bees!

National School Bus Safety Week continues with fact #2!
Did you know that a school bus is not just the color yellow? The technical color of a school bus is National School Bus Yellow. This specific hue of yellow was chosen in 1939 by a group of experts, organized by Dr. Frank W. Cyr, "The father of the yellow school bus", due to the brain's ability to recognize it faster than any other color or specific shade of yellow or color. The research was conducted on a $5,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation.

Reminder: Bethel High School and Middle School will have a remote learning day on Tuesday, November 4th, due to election polling!
Students will stay home and will have an assignment for each class. Assignments will be given the preceding day or may be posted on Google Classroom. Teachers will be available during school hours to answer questions via email.
Buses will run from Bethel to the MVCTC; however, students who attend the CTC will be responsible for their transportation to and from Bethel.
Elementary students will be unimpacted by the election polling and will report as scheduled.

Did you know a school bus is over 70 times safer than any passenger vehicle on the road? Due to its size, and elevated floor height, compartmentalization is used to keep its passengers safe instead of a seatbelt. School bus construction standards have evolved over time, but the same basic principles have remained, which is why it continues to transport over 27 million children safely to school each day in the United States.
