To provide better instruction, all Bethel Schools will hold a few Late Start Days during the 2009-10 school year. The first Late Start Day will be Wednesday, September 23. On this day, all schools and bus routes will begin two hours later that their regularly scheduled times. AM kindergarten students will attend school all day; there will be no PM kindergarten classes. Late Start Days allow teaching staff to meet across grade levels and departments to examine student work, compare lessons and determine ways to better meet the learning needs of all students. For a complete listing of late start days and school schedules, please see the district calendar. If you have busing questions, please call district transportation at 253.683.5900.
