Bethel schools are now able to set a tentative date for welcoming our youngest students back to school with Hybrid Instruction, with a gradual reintroduction for the rest of our students.
- By following the Bethel staff COVID vaccination timeline, Kindergarten students are tentatively scheduled to resume in-person instruction on Monday, March 15. This will be almost one year to the day that schools were closed due to the pandemic.
- In keeping with the continued vaccination schedule for Bethel staff, the intent is to begin the gradual phase-in of more elementary grades with Hybrid Instruction the following week of school (which is when we return from Spring Break) beginning Monday, March 29.
- If all goes well (with local COVID rates, staff vaccination availability, etc.), the District will also consider middle and high school.
This is a tentative timeline, remembering that for nearly a year COVID has caused us to make changes at a moment’s notice. The District continues to prepare for students keeping in mind the need to remain flexible.
It is our hope that by setting this timeline now, more than a month in advance, we all will have an ample opportunity to complete our preparations and make appropriate plans.
Watch for continually updated information as we move forward.
