When to Stop for a School Bus

It has been a busy summer here in Bethel. I have been preparing for the new school year, and also enjoying time with my family. I sincerely hope you have been able to spend time with your loved ones as well this summer.

Now that August is underway we are finishing up many of our summer maintenance projects so our buildings will be ready for students on the first day of school.

All of our bond projects are still on schedule, and we’ll see our first new elementary school open its doors in two short years, in time for the 2021/22 school year. We are predicting that school, and all of our new schools will open up full of kids, as demographers are predicting our community will add 400 housing units every year from now until 2038.

As our staff begins gearing up for the new school year, there are some big changes taking place you should know about. One thing is the implementation of a new social-emotional learning curriculum that will help our teachers and staff better support students (page 15).

Also starting this fall, the district will begin covering the cost of all Advanced Placement tests for all students (page 18). That will be a game changer when it comes to equity for students wanting to challenge themselves academically during their high school years.

I hope you are having a wonderful summer. I am looking forward to the beginning of a new school year in just a few short weeks.

BOND PROJE

This summer we have seen some big steps forward for both of our brand-new, b funding construction. Be sure to follow us at bethelsd.org/bondprojects to keep ELEMENTARY #18 This summer the School Board approved the Educational Specifications for Elementary #18.

This 200-page document is available to see at bethelsd.org/bondprojects and contains an incredible amount of details about the new building.

One thing we learned is that each kindergarten and 1st grade classroom in the school will have its own bathroom!

Elementary #18 Project Site

Elementary #18 will be larger than any of our other elementary schools, with room for 700 students in the building, and an additional 200 students in portables.

The detailed timeline for Elementary #18 is now available, and it looks like construction will begin in late March of 2020. There is a lot to be completed before then, including a traffic study, design and permitting, but so far everything is on track for the start of the 2021/22 school year.

BOND SALE

Bethel recently sold $150 million worth of bonds at $1.42 per thousand dollars of assessed value. Keeping our promise to taxpayers, this is the same rate that was shown in the voter's pamphlet.

We were planning for the possibility of higher interest rates (4.95%) during the sale, but the true interest cost at the time of sale was 2.94% This saved us $35 million in interest. This is the first set of bonds to be sold to fund the projects outlined in our voter-approved School Construction Bond.

We are anticipating selling the next set in 2021.

Current boundary line in the Lipoma Firs community.

Proposed boundary line in the Lipoma Firs community.

ELEMENTARY #19 The School Board recently authorized the Superintendent and Director of Construction and Planning to conduct a feasibility evaluation of the land in the Lipoma Firs community.

Because the Lipoma Firs community falls within both the Bethel and Puyallup school district boundaries, work needed to be done to identify which houses would be in which districts.

The current boundary between the districts follows the township section line, not the proposed parcel lines. Both districts worked together to redraw the boundary before the houses were occupied. The proposed line now follows the roads instead of running through proposed living rooms.

The proposed boundary results in one single-family lot gain by Puyallup and a gain of 2.5 acres of multifamily to Bethel.

Bethel and Puyallup staff will now move forward with Educational Service District 121 to modify the boundary as shown above.

NO END IN SIGHT FO

Growth forecasts predict Bethel will add 400 h

I

t’s no secret that our district is growing. Since October of 2011, we’ve welcomed more than 1,700 new students into our 27 schools.

That growth, which is expected to continue for years to come, will hit our kindergartens especially hard. Between new families moving into the district and existing families having more children, demographers expect a steady increase in young students over the coming years.

In a November 2018 report, demographer Dr. William Kendrick said the Pierce County birth rate

6

is expected to remain above 11,000 per year for the foreseeable future.

That, combined with a projected growth in new housing, means Bethel will likely continue to be one of the fastest growing districts in the area.

Thankfully our voters saw what was coming and, earlier this year, decided to act by passing a construction bond that will build three brand new schools and expand and renovate several others.

Construction on Elementary #18 will begin in

housing units each year from now until 2038 late March of 2020 with the goal of being ready for the start of the 2021/22 school year. We are also in the planning stages for Elementary #19, which is expected to be located in the Lipoma Firs community. A new Bethel High School should be completed and ready for students in 2023.

While those new and expanded schools will soften the blow of overcrowding, they won’t entirely fix the problem. All three of the new schools are expected to open at full capacity, and as more families arrive in the district we will once again be facing a challenge of overcrowding.

Based on housing estimates, Census data, and the latest student generation rates, Kendrick predicts that Bethel will see an increase of about 1,200 students over the next five years.

And it’s likely not a short-term problem. Forecast data for neighborhoods in and around the district from the Puget Sound Regional Council suggests that we will see continued population and housing growth between 2024 and 2038, according to Kendrick. That forecast predicts Bethel will add 400 housing units each year from now until 2038.

Militar

As part of the required forms in Family Access, military families are asked to fill out a Military Documentation form. This form is an important one, as it directly impacts the amount of funding the district is able to get to help support military families.

s e s c c A ily

“It’s essential we are able to track all our military families, whether they arrive at the start of the school year, or later on,” said Community Connections Director Jay Brower.

“Identifying them increases our eligibility for services and grants, and even helps bring resources from JBLM to our community. This helps us meet their unique needs and honor the families of those who serve our country.”

With approximately 10% of our district made up of military families, finding new and better ways to support them is always a focus.

m

Parents must complete several online forms for each of their students in Family Access.

• EIS Student User Access Informed Consent (internet usage and email account)

• Request to Prevent Disclosure of Student nformation (This is an opt-out document.

Annual submission is required).

• Military Documentation: Military families must fill out this form for each student per state requirement.

To obtain your Family Access login and password stop by or call the office at your student's school.

Reduced price breakfast and lunch are available to students who qualify based on certain income requirements. A new application must be submitted each year to maintain this student benefit.

IMMUNIZATION REQUIREMENTS

Tdap Vaccine Required for 6th Grade Students The Tdap vaccine protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis. You will need to take proof of your child’s Tdap vaccination to your child’s middle school.

In addition to the required Tdap vaccine, it is also recommended that students receive the HPV and Meningococcal vaccine. The HPV vaccine protects against the human papillomavirus. The Meningococcal vaccine protects against a severe strain of meningitis.

Learn more about vaccines for preteens and teens at: www.doh.wa.gov

New Law on MMR Personal Exemptions The Washington State Legislature passed a bill that removes the personal and philosophical option to exempt children from the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine required for school and child care entry. The law also requires employees and volunteers at child care centers to provide immunization records indicating they have received the MMR vaccine or proof of immunity.

If your child has a personal exemption for the MMR vaccine, make an appointment with your health care provider to discuss your options for meeting this new requirement.

If you have any questions, you can reach Dawn Fox, Nurse Administrator, at 253-683-6940 or dfox@bethelsd.org.

DON'T 'FLIP YOUR LID'

New Social-Emotional Learning curriculum will be in place this fall

T

his spring, our School Board formally adopted a new Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum that will be used in our elementary and middle schools beginning this fall.

Mallory Shull is a social worker at Spanaway Elementary School who has been piloting the new Second Step curriculum with students in kindergarten through third grade.

She said the topics addressed in the new curriculum are the same across grade levels, but as the kids get older, the lessons adapt to the students’ age. Shull said the lessons involve a variety of activities for students to take part in, including everything from dancing to discussions.

What is key about Second Step is that the language students are learning to talk about their socialemotional wellness is the same, whether they are in kindergarten or 8th grade.

For example, it can be difficult to talk with a kindergartner about the difficulties of problem solving when you’re upset. But by using fun, familiar phrases, like “flip your lid,” students are able to not only talk about difficult subjects, but learn lessons that will help them grow up to be socially and emotionally mature.

Having the curriculum in place at all of our elementary and middle schools means that when an elementary student moves on to middle school, the language will remain consistent.

In addition to being able to talk about their feelings, these starter conversations will also help students

Elementary had been piloting the curriculum this year and reported that it had been easy to implement in their classrooms.

“They jumped on board and picked it up,” Shull said.

“They have really enjoyed it and haven’t had any issues.”

Parents will be provided links for many of the lessons, so they will be able to follow along with

'This language is really effective to use throughout the day.'

– Mallory Shull , Social Worker, Spanaway Elementary

become more empowered to reach out to a social worker or counselor at their school when they need additional help dealing with difficult situations.

Shull said the fourth grade team at Spanaway

what their students are learning in class. This will also allow them to reinforce the learning at home.

The Second Step program will be implemented this fall at all of our elementary and middle schools.

'I wanted to do something substantial, where I could actually help other people.’ 16

g d e i r s cultures Art exchange b T

he fact that Frederickson Elementary School art teacher Janis Lindley was able to coordinate an art exchange between her own students and a classroom in Indonesia is impressive enough. The project looks downright heroic when you learn that Lindley was dealt the most devastating health news possible just 24 hours before she was set to fly to Indonesia.

Lindley is truly a global citizen.

She’s lived and taught in India, Nepal, and South Korea during her long career in education. So nobody was shocked when she began planning an ambitious art exchange between her thirdand fourth-grade students and a group of children in Indonesia.

“We live in such a global world now and it’s such a great way for kids to connect and see how art can teach us about the world and different beliefs and

cultures,” she said.

The original plan was for Lindley to travel to Indonesia to personally bring her students’ artwork and teach the local children about American art and culture.

was done through the mail and online.

And then her life changed forever.

Each of her students created unique pieces of art featuring images that represent life in America. She sent the art off to Indonesia, and near the end of the school year her class received the art created by the Indonesian students.

The day before her flight, Lindley was diagnosed with a rare form of advanced cancer. It didn’t look good, and in December she began planning her funeral.

That’s when something special happened.

Lindley is planning on retiring after next year, but she hopes her art exchange can continue and become a tradition at Frederickson or any other school that wants to explore different cultures.

After four months of intense treatment at Seattle’s Cancer Care Alliance, doctors can no longer find any traces of the disease in Lindley’s body.

“I’m so happy that it still worked out,” she said. “(Not being able to travel to Indonesia) actually makes it more accessible for other teachers. It makes it reproducible when they see they can use the internet, they can use mail, they can use photographs.”

She was able to return to work in time to continue the art exchange, only this time it

NEW FOR FALL: Free AP tests for all!

Money should never be the deciding factor for a student pursuing academic excellence, so beginning this fall the district will begin covering the cost of Advanced Placement tests for all students.

During the 2018/19 school year, we had 876 Advanced Placement (AP) students: 176 from Bethel High, 272 from Spanaway Lake, and an impressive 428 from Graham-Kapowsin.

That’s a lot of students, and in fact all three of our comprehensive high schools have been recognized for being in the top 1% in the country for ensuring equitable access to AP classes for all students.

District leaders want to keep that trend going, which is why Bethel will begin covering the cost of all AP tests for all students. Previously the district covered the cost of one test per student. Now, all students will have all their tests covered, no matter how many AP classes they take.

“This will help provide a level of equity,” said Superintendent Tom Seigel.

This new shift will ensure that the cost of the tests ($94 each) won’t discourage students from challenging themselves in high school.

The district will also begin covering the cost of the ACT or SAT tests (which test is yet to be determined) for all juniors this fall. And students in the Cambridge program at Bethel High School will continue to have all of their test costs covered.

These are just a few ways our district is helping students overcome financial barriers so they can get the most academically out of their high school careers.
