Parent Involvement Opportunities

Active parental involvement has been a cornerstone for building community and supporting all students at Bethany since our doors opened in 1993. Our school believes parents are partners in their children’s education. Many volunteer opportunities are available to our parents: School-Based Improvement Committee (SBIC); PISD Key Communicator representatives; book fair and literacy events; and volunteering in the classrooms, office, clinic and library. In addition, our visionary and active PTA sponsors: field day; McGruff Safety Program; fine arts day; community connectedness events like carnivals, sock hop, safety and health fairs, yearbook, book fair, Reflections contest, Bethany Bunch Bits (monthly newsletters), parent education, student field trips, mentor program and literacy library.
