BPS District Dashboard
The District Dashboard is a tool available with data and information about our students, schools, and District. You can access it from the District website under the Board of Education drop down menu BPS Strategic Plan 2020-2025 and District Dashboard. The information is extracted from a number of resources and presented on the Dashboard in one place. See the Board’s communication regarding the District Dashboard.

How Do I Receive School & District Information?
Community members/parents have asked, “How do I get copies of fliers, notices, etc.? and How do I know what is going on?”
All of the information previously distributed by paper in backpacks is provided to parents via email in the weekly newsletters (school and district). Making copies is not environmentally or fiscally responsible. Also, the district newsletters are available on our website.
If you, as a parent/guardian, are not receiving it, please check your spam folder, check in the PowerSchool Parent Portal to ensure your email information is correct, if neither is the case, please contact your child’s school directly to resolve the issue.
Parents receive the school and district newsletters automatically using the email contact information in PowerSchool. If you know of a community member interested in opting-in to receive this newsletter, they can sign up using the link under the Superintendent's page of our website at www.bethel.k12.ct.us.
BPS App!
Check out the App for the Bethel Public Schools. If you go into your App Store and type in Bethel Public Schools, you should be able to install it for free. We are hoping that the App can provide you quick mobile access to information commonly requested. Our calendars, time schedules, social media feeds, athletic schedules, district social media, lunch menus, etc. are all in the App. You can call the schools from the App. After you download the App, you will be prompted to select the schools from which you want to get information. Essentially, this is the "news", push notifications and the "events calendar". This is a screen shot of what the App looks like.

- Masks will be options for students and staff as of 2/28/22. It is an individual's choice to wear their mask, dependent on their own risk factors. Please speak with your children about respecting other's choices to promote a culture of inclusivity. We ask that you model respectful behavior, particularly online, as our children are watching. Put simply, kindness matters.
- As we receive Department of Public Health guidance, we will communicate new information.

Superintendent's News
Health Updates: The Executive Order’s are set to expire by February 15, 2021. The Governor has been clear in the media that there will likely be announcements in the next few weeks regarding mask mandates in schools, including possible changes to the current policies/recommendations.
School Budget Update: Last night, the Board of Education approved a 4.43% increase for the 2022-2023 school budget. This is a slight adjustment from my proposed budget due to two reasons (1) notification of increase in health insurance and (2) adjustment to transportation as result of recent bus contract bids.
