We are excited to have our students back in the building and ready for the 2023-24 school year. There are a few reminders that the office would like to mention as we begin this semester.

Drop Off: Drop off will be from 7:35am - 7:55am in front of the old gym, 8am is the start of our school day. When students arrive, they can go to the cafeteria to eat breakfast or go to the North side of the high school to wait for the 1st-hour bell. If students drive to school, they are to exit their vehicles once they have parked on campus. Students are not allowed to go to their vehicles during the school day.

Pickup: School releases at 3:30 pm. Car riders are to be picked up in front of the old gym.

Communicating with Staff: Our staff is available to speak with parents during their planning period. If a message for a staff member is left after their planning period, it could be the following school day before a call is returned. All staff members have different planning periods. If you wish to email our staff, all email addresses are on the Bethel High School website. Please do not communicate with staff via social media or text messages about school matters. Our staff are here from 7:35 am - 3:35 pm, after that time calls or emails will be returned the following school day.

Bethel Public Schools has partnered with Avedis and Project Respect to offer a LMHP (Licensed Mental Health Provider) on campus. Our new LMHP is Mrs. Adamek. She has an office on campus and is available to students and staff. We are so excited to have Mrs. Adamek in this new role continuing to help our students. Please use the QR code below for her new contact information.
