The energy was unmistakable during Friday’s Meet & Greet! We are so excited for the first day of classes tomorrow! Helpers are still needed to assist our newest Buccaneers in navigating the Mt Bethel halls at arrival during the first week of school OR at lunchtime. Please sign up HERE if you can help. No Kindergarten parents, please!


Back-to-School nights are this week for parents! This is a great opportunity to visit the classroom and learn more about your child's day-to-day and instructional programming as well as volunteer opportunities.

       3rd - 5th: Thursday, August 7th, 6:00 PM   PTA General Meeting, too


Are you ready for some new Spirit wear?! We’re excited to announce our official Fall 2025 Spirit wear collection picked by YOU!! The link to purchase will go live very soon, send in a separate email, so check out the looks in picture below!


*Please note: Cobb County is using a NEW payment system for lunch this year. It is now done through https://www.myschoolbucks.com/. You have to create an account and add your student(s), but then you’ll see that whatever money was left in their cafeteria accounts from MyPaymentsPlus has been rolled over into these new accounts. 


Sweet dreams to all tonight!

Updated PTA Website!
*Mt. Bethel Apps & Websites*

Mt Bethel utilizes many Apps and Websites throughout the school year.

HERE is a list and description of the most common ones!

What are Required Grade Level Supplemental Materials?

These are physical workbooks, periodicals and digital subscriptions chosen by our wonderful Mt Bethel teachers to enhance your child's educational experience in their classrooms. It also includes an agenda for grades 3rd-5th and recorders for 4th graders. 

Your child will love their class shirt which is also included in the priceAll Mt Bethel students will have the same logo on their class shirt, but each class within the grade will have a different color. Your child will wear this shirt on field trips to help the teachers more easily identify the children in their class! They may also be asked to wear their shirts on other designated days throughout the year, such as field day. 

Order HERE today!
