Mandatory Family Orientation & Breakfast
Saturday, August 1, 2026
Dear Bethany Families,
Welcome to another exciting year at Bethany School! We are starting our 79th year in Christian Education, can you believe it?! I pray this letter finds you enjoying a wonderful and restful summer. Here at Bethany, we have been enjoying our Summer Program as students continue to learn, play, and grow together. It has been a joy to watch our campus remain filled with laughter, friendship, and discovery.
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, my staff and I are excited to invite all new and returning families to our Mandatory Family Orientation & Breakfast on Saturday, August 1, 2026. This year, we are doing things a little differently! Rather than hosting separate orientation weekends, we are bringing our entire Bethany community together for one special morning of fellowship, information, and celebration as we launch the 2026–2027 school year.
In addition to receiving important information for the upcoming school year, families will have the opportunity to meet our newest Bethany staff members, learn about upcoming school and community events, meet our new Parent Teacher Fellowship (PTF) President, and hear important updates for the 2026–2027 school year. We look forward to beginning this exciting new chapter together as a Bethany family.
