In today's digital world, information travels faster than a kindergartener running to recess. Unfortunately, not all of the information you find online is accurate. Social media can be great for sharing photos, but it's not the best place to get accurate information.

So when you need reliable, up-to-date information about the Bethel School District or any of our schools, there's one golden rule: go straight to the source.

Official Websites

Our official district website at bethelsd.org is your home base for everything you need to know. Think of it as your educational headquarters, where all the important stuff lives, from school calendars and lunch menus to board meeting minutes and construction updates.

Also on the district website are links to each of our official school websites where you can find your school's bell schedule, newsletters, and more.

Official Social Media

While we may not be posting TikToks of dancing chihuahuas, we do have a few social media accounts you can follow.

  • facebook.com/BethelSD
  • youtube.com/BethelSchools
  • linkedin.com/company/bethel-school-district/
  • Some of our schools also maintain Facebook accounts, which you can find linked on their websites.

    Just remember, we won’t post critical information on social media and hope you find it. If we need to contact you, we will reach out directly via email, text or robocall. Sometimes you’ll get all three! We don’t want you to have to search for information when we can send it directly to you. And that makes this a good point to remind you to keep your contact info updated in ParentVUE!

    Contact Us

    Got a quick question about your child's school? Check in with the school office. The friendly folks behind the desk are information wizards who can help you with everything from attendance questions to volunteer opportunities.

    If you want to send an email to your student’s teachers or staff at the school, ParentVUE is the way to go. You can find that link, along with some other great points of contact at bethelsd.org/contact

    Other “officials”

    We can't forget about the Bethel Pride magazine, which is delivered straight to your mailbox six times every year. We recently celebrated five decades of the Bethel Pride, and you’ll find lots of great information in there, including bond project updates, staff and
    student features, and much more!

    We also have The Bethel School District Presents podcast, a weekly show that’s been on the air for four years now. On each episode you’ll get to spend time with teachers, students, staff, and community members to get in depth about the important things going on in our district. Check it out at bethelsd.org/podcast or search for it wherever you listen to podcasts.

    And finally, you can subscribe to Peachjar, which will get you access to digital fliers from our district, schools, community organizations and more. That link is on your school's website.

    The beauty of having so many “official” options is that you can choose how you want to stay connected. The key is picking the methods that work for your lifestyle and then actually using them. Information is only helpful if it reaches you!

    Why official sources matter

    Remember, if it's not coming from one of our official channels, it might be worth double-checking before you share it with others. Together, we can keep our community well-informed and rumor-free!

    And if you come across something online that makes you scratch your head and wonder, "Is this really true?" don't let it keep you up at night. Drop us a line at [email protected] and we'll help you separate fact from fiction. We're happy to be your mythbusters!
