Bethel Schools Revise 2011-12 Schedule After Snowstorm Cancellations

Attached to the the most recent Bethel Schools newsletter (and in this article), parents will find a revised 2011-2012 school calendar. Changes were made after Bethel canceled three days of schools after the Halloween snow storm.

These are the changes:

• November 10 & 11: Schools were scheduled to be closed. Schools will now be open both days. Each school will commemorate Veteran’s Day during the class day.
• November 23 (this is the Wednesday before Thanksgiving): Schools were scheduled to be on an early dismissal schedule. Schools will now be closed to students. Teachers will report for professional development from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.
• January 13: Schools were scheduled to be closed. Schools will now be open.
• January 16: Schools will be closed to students. Teachers will report for professional development on the regular schedule.
• February 20 & 21: Schools were scheduled to be closed.  Schools will now be open.

With this schedule Bethel Schools will enter the snow season retaining most of the planned “snow day make-up days” in June. Currently school is scheduled to end on June 14. Additional days lost will be added beginning with June 15 through June 29.
