We are enhancing our communications to serve you better!

In today’s fast-paced world, Bethany understands our families often find themselves overwhelmed by the sheer volume of communications bombarding them on a daily basis. The emails, text messages, newsletters, social media, updates, and more all demanding attention and action can become a real challenge for families to keep up. In our attempt to help streamline our communications with our families, we have created a communication plan that gives you relevant, brief, and on demand content in a predictable and timely manner.

Here are the predictable ways we will communicate with you:

Daily and urgent announcements

We want to make sure you never miss important information! Here’s how we share daily and urgent announcements with students:

  • Intercom: announcements are read aloud during designated times.
  • Bulletin Boards: check key locations for posted updates.
  • Email & SchoolMessenger: depending on your preferences, we'll send announcements straight to your inbox or phone.

Family Portal

This is a shift from the Bruin Weekly to an online and updated daily page with information for the lower school, middle school, upper school, and the whole school. For details on upcoming events, important school information for families, and translation options, visit bethanycs.net/family.

KIT

The KIT, Keeping In Touch, newsletter is emailed to you every other Friday, typically midday. The focus of this communication is the current Bethany community, with  information about upcoming events, all school news, re-enrollment, cafeteria updates, and more.

Bethany Beacon

The Bethany Beacon is our monthly e-newsletter, delivered at the beginning of each month. Our hope is that the Bethany Beacon serves as a valuable connection between the school and our alumni, current families, and prospective families.

Social Media

Important means of communication that parents and students can access through social media:

Bethany Calendar

To help the Bethany community as a whole and parents of all grade levels, we decided to separate one calendar into two. All events are still available, but you may need to resubscribe.

Website calendar

To view calendar events online, select Calendar at the top of this page.

When you are on the calendar page, have a look at the right side of the screen. By default, below the monthly calendar, both Academics and Athletics should be checked. From there, it is up to you—select Academic, Athletics, or both.

BCS calendar subscribing

Subscribing to the calendar

If you would like to sync the calendar to your own devices, select which calendar you want, then choose the 'Subscribe' link above the monthly calendar. When it is shared with your device, it would likely be named as 'Bethany Christian Schools -Academics OR Athletics OR Custom Calendar'.

We hope that this is helpful for you. You are welcome to send an email to [email protected] if you have any issues or questions.
