Bethesda Elementary School Parents/PTA

Parenting Center

Bethesda Elementary is very proud of our Parent Center. The center, which offers materials and services to both English speaking and non-English speaking parents, is located at the end of the first hallway to the right of the entrance. The Parent Center is directed by Mrs. Irene Muniz, our Parent Liaison, who is fluent in English and Spanish, and Ms. Tiffany Thomas our Parent Instructional Support Coordinator.

Visiting the School

All visitors, parents, community members, and others MUST go directly to the security desk upon entering the building, and officially register as a guest. You will receive and wear a visitor's sticker during this visit. Parents are expected to respect the teacher's duty to provide instruction from 8:20 a.m. - 3:40 p.m. All classroom visits are to be pre-arranged with the teacher.

Parents need to be aware of educational expectations and the progress of their children, and teachers need to know their student's parents. A conference is an ideal way for parents and teacher to get to know one another so that the best interest of the child is realized. Teachers will be available for conferences before or after hours of student attendance. Conferences MUST be scheduled via telephone call or a note to the teacher.

Parents are always welcome to come and have lunch with their children. (Fast food lunches are not permitted at school.) Parents may sit with their children at their assigned table in the cafeteria. Picnic tables outside are reserved for special group activities.

Cell phones disrupt the learning environment and should be turned off upon entering the building.

Accountability Report

Gwinnett County Public Schools has developed an accountability system for improving schools called the Results-Based Evaluation System (RBES). Under RBES, local schools communicate their results with community members through an annual School Accountability Report.
