Welcome to East Bethel Elementary School
Mission Statement
Our mission is to equip all students with the knowledge and skills to empower them to achieve their dreams and full potential while becoming responsible citizens in a dynamic world.
Open House Information
Due to current state guidance on social gatherings, we are unable to hold our previously scheduled Open House event at East Bethel Elementary School. This event will be virtual.
While this is not the Open House any of us had hoped for, the health of our students, families and staff is paramount. We look forward to welcoming you virtually to the 2020-21 school year. View a message from Principal Melissa Kivi.
Virtual Open House
East Bethel Elementary School's renovations gives us a modern and open design which creates an environment to meet academic trends. Our new learning spaces include specialized seating options allowing students to wiggle while learning.
The school is adjacent to a beautiful wooded area. Teachers bring students outdoors to explore and learn in nature.
Our school and classrooms are all staffed with highly effective teachers and professionals. Our daily work is focused on giving each student the opportunity to grow.
