About Our School |
| |
Memorial Elementary School is one of five K-4 elementary schools in the Bethel Park School District. Bethel Park is located in the South Hills of Pittsburgh. The staff and PTA of Memorial School strive to provide each child with the best educational experiences possible.
In addition to the core curricula taught at each grade level, the students attend regularly scheduled classes in physical education and health, library, art, vocal music, and computer instruction. Students in grades 1-4 participate in the Book-It program designed to expose students to a variety of literature and strengthen their reading and comprehension skills. Our students consistently score among the highest in the school district on the Pennsylvania State Assessment tests.

Edline Now Available for Parents of 2nd, 3rd and 4th Graders--Parents
of 2nd, 3rd and 4th graders will receive information in their child's report
card envelope on January 27 about how they can set up an Edline account to
gain electronic access to their child's academic progress. The letter
will provide parents with an Edline Activation Code and parents are
encouraged to go to
www.edline.net to activate their
child's account. The website will guide you through the process.
Once an account is activated, parents can see their child's interim grades
posted for Math, Language Arts and Spelling for all three grades, as well as
Social Studies for third and fourth graders. Parents who have
difficulty accessing Edline can contact the school secretary for assistance.
We encourage all parents to stay up to date with their child's progress via
Edline. Parents who do not have access to the Internet can do so at
the Bethel Park Library. Librarians are available to assist. |

• District to
use ALERTNOW Notification Service as an additional communication tool
between the school district and parents--Keeping
parents informed is a top priority of the Bethel Park School District, and
we will be using the ALERTNOW Notification Service to send telephone and/or
email messages to parents and/or employees to notify them of things such as
school delays or cancellations due to inclement weather. With
ALERTNOW, you won't have to watch television to wait for Bethel Park's
status to scroll onto the screen. Parents will be notified by phone
when the district makes the decision to close or delay. ALERTNOW can
also be used to remind parents of upcoming events at school. But most
importantly, in an emergency, ALERTNOW has the capability to launch 12,000
phone calls a minute, so parents don't have to rely on Phone Chains to get
emergency information. In an emergency, ALERTNOW has the capability to
call up to three phone numbers per student. ALERTNOW also has the
capability to send out email messages to one email
address per student. Please click here
to learn more about ALERTNOW. We hope you will agree that ALERTNOW is
another way the district can keep parents up to date. |
