Parent University
One of the district’s new programs is the Parent University. We held our first Parent University last week at which a panel of district staff members provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of the continuum of services provided to special education students from Pre-K – Grade 12. About 14 parents attended this event, listened to the presentation, asked some excellent questions, and came away with a much better understanding of services that are available in the district. As part of our effort to be more responsive to parental concerns and raise awareness about the many issues impacting public education, we will be offering a number of Parent University workshops during the school year. Our next Parent University is scheduled of next Tuesday, October 16th in the Rockwell Cafeteria at 7pm. The title of the workshop is “A Kinder, Gentler World: Schools and Communities that are Bully Free.” District staff will explain the Board of Education Bullying policy, share efforts at each of the schools to eradicate bullying and provide parents and guardians with strategies to support their children at home.
Tip o’ the Cap
Congratulations to the following BHS students for being named “commended student” in the 2013 National Merit Scholar program: Aiden L. Ford, Rebecca E. Joseph, Luisa R. Kenausis, Maria C. Manolescu, Justin H. Quader, and Harper A. Stevenson. Commended Students placed among the top 5% of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2013 competition by taking the 2011 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Qualifying Test. These students are truly impressive!
Spotlight on Budget (a regularly featured column which highlights specific budget lines)
Coaches and Advisors: The Bethel Board of Education budget includes funding for coaches and advisors. These individuals are hired by the Board and are paid stipends to run a variety of extracurricular activities at our schools. These extracurricular activities excite and engage our students and provide them opportunities to participate in the life of the school beyond the classroom. They are some of the vehicles through which we promote the critical element of community connectedness. Students who feel strongly connected to school tend to have more positive outcomes socially, emotionally, and academically. There are opportunities for every child to participate in their areas of interest and talent. We encourage our students to participate in at least one extracurricular activity, especially at the secondary level. We endeavor to provide a wide enough array of activities to meet all students’ interests and talents. As Mr. Muharem is fond of saying, “if there is something you want that we don’t have, we will try to get it.” Our goal is to strongly connect students to school and improve outcomes.
Bethel High School students, known as the Wildcats, participate in a number of extracurricular activities some of which are competitive and some are not. Of course there are the great sports teams, including football, basketball, baseball, softball, track, soccer, wrestling, volleyball, field hockey, tennis, cross country, golf, swimming, lacrosse and hockey, cheer leading and color guard. The music department offers an array of bands and ensembles including the award-winning marching band. Theatrical performances are presented several times per year and the clubs try to meet a wide range of interests and needs, including, Student Council, Gay Straight Alliance, DECA, NHS, Tri-M, Renaissance, Key Club, CORE Club, Chess, Environmental Club, model U.N., Mirage, Dance Team, and on and on. There are too many to list!
Bethel Middle School, home of the Tigers, also offers a number of interscholastic sports, a range of clubs including television production, robotics, colorguard, dance, to name just a few. Students can participate in a fall musical, a winter talent show, and a range of music performance ensemble groups. This fall BMS offered over 30 intramural opportunities.
The elementary schools also offer a range of activities from music performance groups to Odyssey of the Mind to Technology Team.
The Board of Education funds modest stipends for these coaches and advisors because it understands the importance of strengthening the connections between students and school. While the total cost represents a small portion of the total budget, the collective impact is enormous.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Another stellar weekend for the Marching Wildcats!
They took First Place in class II at a competition in Newtown. They also won three caption awards: General Effect, Best Music, Best Marching.
On Sunday, they competed in Arlington, NY and took First Place in class II.
