Welcome
to the web site for Bethesda Elementary School.
My name is Steve Fisher. I
am excited to be working with the students, faculty, staff and parents as the
principal here. Being a former parent of
Bethesda Elementary children and a resident of the community, I look forward to
getting to know each one of you this coming school year! Please take time to
browse through the different areas of our web site.
I know you will enjoy learning about our very special school!
If you are new to our school I want to extend a special welcome to you and to
let you know how excited we are to have you as a member of our community of
learners at Bethesda Elementary School!
Our
focus every day at Bethesda is the academic achievement of our students.
Our staff is composed of dedicated, gifted, and energetic professionals
who focus on the needs of every student in a well-planned and organized setting.
Each classroom is equipped with advanced, integrated computer systems,
which link students to the global network of information.
A low student/teacher ratio and spacious campus offer students the
opportunities to experiment, investigate, and be engaged in their learning.
A curricular framework exists where academic areas are woven together in
a meaningful way. Enrichment
activities compliment the academic picture by closely integrating the fine arts
through choral activities, art showcases, and school wide events.
Bethesda
Elementary is a happy place where parents are invited to join the faculty/staff
in working to help the school in day-to-day operations as well as in planning
for its future. Hands-on science, writer’s workshop, Accelerated Reader, peer
tutoring, and many other activities await each child at Bethesda.
The
Williamson County School Board provides support for children with special gifts
or learning needs. Convenient
transportation and an outstanding childcare program provided by the YMCA
particularly appeal to busy parents.
We have identified three major goals
that the school will be pursuing this year and in the coming
years. Those goals are the following:
-
Maintain or exceed the current level of proficiency in
reading as measured by TCAP achievement data.
-
Maintain or exceed the current level of proficiency in
Math as measured by TCAP achievement data.
-
Create a safe, comfortable environment where all
stakeholders have mutual respect for one another and
students' emotional and social growth will be enhanced.
Bethesda is rich in history. A school has been located in our area of the community for
over 100 years. Please join us in
this special place where education is more than a life-changing experience –
it is also a tradition!
Yours, for the children,
Steve Fisher, Principal
