ENROLLING NEW STUDENTS. Students entering Bethel schools should not be placed in their permanent classroom for a minimum of 24 hours after entry except where prohibited by law. This wait allows the receiving teacher to organize his or her classroom to prepare for the new student, and to consult with the principal/counselor regarding placement. During this 24-hour period, (one school day), the school may do entry testing, gather information about the student from the previous school, use a student greeter to orient the student to the school or other activities before the school day is over. If the parent is agreeable, the student may return home until the following day. However, the parent has the right to insist that the student stay at the school for the full day. Consideration needs to be given to class composition when placing new students in classrooms.
ENROLLING NEW STUDENTS. When a new student is to be enrolled in a class, the teacher will be given sufficient advanced notice before the student enters the classroom to allow the teacher to adequately prepare to accommodate the new student.
ENROLLING NEW STUDENTS. When a new student has completed the enrollment process and is to be enrolled in a class, the teacher will be given a minimum of twenty-four hours advanced notice before the student enters the classroom after the October 1st count is complete. After the first six (6) weeks of the school year, at the time a student is enrolled, the Principal/designee will attempt to contact the previous school district to obtain any pertinent information regarding the new student (i.e. medical history, discipline status, IEPs, or history). All pertinent information will be shared with the assigned Association members in a timely manner.
