IT'S PLAYOFF TIME IN BETHEL PARK!
Congratulations to the
BPHS Football Team, who are Section Champions for the second consecutive
year and will play Penn Trafford in a home game in the first round of the WPIAL Playoffs on
Friday, November 6 at 7:30 PM. Tickets are on sale daily in the
Athletic Office in Building 6 until 2:30 PM. Student tickets purchased
in advance are $4 and adult tickets are $6. All tickets purchased at
the game on Friday night will be $6. Because this is a WPIAL Playoff
Game, no faculty passes will be accepted. Everyone must have a ticket
to get into the game. We encourage everyone to purchase their tickets
in advance because the school benefits more from advance sale tickets. Come out and cheer on the team as they take their
first step to defend their WPIAL Championship. Go Hawks! |

H1N1 Update--Test-confirmed cases of
H1N1 (Swine Flu) have been reported at Bethel Park High School, Neil
Armstrong Middle School, Lincoln Elementary, Memorial Elementary and Franklin Elementary School. Over the past two weeks, there have also been several
students throughout the district who have exhibited flu-like symptoms and
have been diagnosed by their doctors as having H1N1 or H1N1-like symptoms,
but their conditions were not officially confirmed via laboratory testing.
Please click
here to read a letter to all Bethel Park families from Dr. Knight, that
outlines what parents can do to help keep their children from
getting/spreading H1N1 or other viruses. If you or any member of your
family experience flu-like symptoms, you are encouraged to contact your
family physician. As always, the best defense against communicable
disease is proper hand washing. We ask parents to keep their children
home if they are exhibiting symptoms or do not feel well. Please

your child's school and provide your email address to the secretary.
Don't miss any communication from the school because your email address is
not in our system! |
