Class Schedules, including new login names for students, are available. Find out how to login to Home Access Center or submit schedule change requests HERE.
Student Devices – Students are expected to bring a laptop, Chromebook, or comparable personal device to classes, and many were distributed during Welcome Back Day. Cell phones are not used during class time and should be away and silent. Willamette has a Chromebook available for every student, so please contact the Media Center or Front Office if your student still needs a device.
Health and Safety information was recently emailed to all (English and Spanish), and Bethel has added a district Q&A to help with common questions. Here are a few key notes.
- Vaccination and proper mask use are the top preventative measures against COVID, and their use will allow more students to safely and fully attend school.
- Masks are required to attend in-person school at all indoor locations, regardless of vaccination status.
- Outdoor activities will not require students to use masks, so long as physical distancing can be maintained.
- Keep students home who exhibit any COVID symptoms until further screening can be completed. Consult Bethel or Lane County’s COVID Resources for help.
- Communication may happen through both phone and email, so please ensure we have current contact information to ensure timely message delivery.
- Please review the documents above for more details.
Review the Bus Update if using school-provided transportation.
We will continue to provide updates through this site, emails, and phone calls as the first few weeks are sure to include updates.
Thank you for being a part of Willamette and Bethel! We are excited to continue serving our community and, most importantly, our students. Go Wolverines!
