Happy birthday today to Haley Hamilton and Brayden Welch! We hope you both have a great birthday!!
Tuesday, May 6th there will be a meeting for current juniors and parents to discuss their senior year. The meeting will be held in Room 4 from 6 - 7 pm. Should a student take the ACT? When does a student need to apply to colleges? What about scholarships? What other options instead of college are there? These are a few questions which will be discussed.
ACTIVITY BUS UPDATE: There will no activity buses the week of May 12 - May 16. We do not have enough bus drivers to complete the activity bus routes due to our regular school routes as well as our after school athletic runs. Please discuss this with your coaches to ensure you have alternate transportation for that week during the activity run routes that run at 5:45pm/6:00pm that entire week.
It is time to register your child for the 25-26 school year. Parents of all current freshmen, sophomores, and juniors returning to Bethlehem next year need to complete the registration forms. These are due by May 7. Registration being completed on time is important, as we expect to be at capacity next year in several grade levels.
