Here are some reminders for the CRCT Test days:
Arrive at school on time - students should be in their classrooms by 7:45.
Make sure you get a good night's rest and a nutritious breakfast.
Wear comfortable clothing and remember to relax!!!
The Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests will begin on Wednesday, April 23 and end on Tuesday, April 29. Students in first and second grades will have three days of tests. Students in third, fourth, and fifth grades will have five days of tests.
It is very important that all of our students participate in the CRCT and do their very best. Please help to ensure that your child is well rested and arrives at school on time during the test period. We truly appreciate your support!
The official 21st Century Classroom Pilot began on Janaury 8, 2008 and will continue through the end of the school year. Teachers are busy collecting data on how the new technology equipment is impacting student learning, attendance, discipline, and engagement. We are also tracking the teachers' satisfaction with their training and the reliability of the equipment. We look forward to sharing the results with the school community when the pilot program is finished.
Thank you to the staff and parents who helped to make the Cultural Celebrations displays so informative. The Mt. Bethel students truly benefit from the opportunity to learn so much about other cultures.
Teachers and students are really enjoying our new 21st Century Technology Tools! The interactive whiteboards are helping to make instruction even more engaging and address multiple learning styles. What a fun way to learn and to teach! Be sure to ask your student about the work they are doing with the new equipment. We are very grateful to be one of the seven pilot schools for the 21st Century Classroom Project!
Thanks to funds from SPLOST II, each classroom will be receiving a new black ink laser printer this week to replace the exiting classroom printers. Classrooms will have access to new color laser printers as well. We are very excited to have better printing capabilities for the staff and students! The new printers will work perfectly with the new desktop computers we received last year.
Thank you so much to the parents who attended the training for the Parent Volunteer program on Wednesday or Friday this week. Your willingness to volunteer your time in the classroom is a gift to the teachers! We look forward to working with you soon.

The start of the 2007 - 2008 school year has been very exciting! I am very happy to be serving Mt. Bethel as an Assistant Administrator this year. I look forward to working with all of our new students and their families.
