Important Reminders
Brightwheel Information: Please enable Brightwheel notifications on your phone app. This will allow you to see important messages in a timely manner. Also, please remember to check your child in and out each day. There are QR codes throughout the building as well as tablets with a check-in kiosk for your use. While this is tedious and time-consuming, it is a DHS requirement and part of the assessment process for all preschools in Tennessee.
Tuesday and Wednesday Extra Hour Sign-Up: Please remember to sign your child up for the extra hours so we know how many teachers to have in place to take care of your children. There is a separate sign up for Tuesday and Wednesday…just because you’ve signed your child up for Tuesday does not mean he or she is automatically signed up for Wednesday. Also, please make sure you have not already signed your child up before adding his/her name to the bottom of the list. Taking an additional space for the same child may deter another family from taking advantage of this extra hour.
Fall 2025 Registration: We still have openings in our 2 Pre-k classes, our Younger 3’s Owls class, Our Toddler Honeybees class and our One-Year-Old Ducklings class. If you know anyone looking for a preschool, please have them contact Kim at kwixted@bethlehemumc.com for more information.
Substitute Teachers Needed: We are looking to add to our substitute teacher list. If you are interested in helping our, or if you know anyone who may be interested in being added to this list, please let Kim know.
