A Message From The Principal

It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Bethesda Elementary School website.   I hope you will see that Bethesda Elementary is a special place for children to develop and learn.  I would encourage you to visit our classrooms, school office, media center, multipurpose room, playground, and acquaint yourself with the staff members of Bethesda Elementary School.  There is a sense of cooperation and determination at our school, which we would like to share with you.  On behalf of everyone at Bethesda Elementary, have a great year!

Free MCPS Summer External Partner Programs

The MCPS Partnerships Unit is proud to present the following summer external partner enrichment offerings including single sessions, one-week classes, and multiple week workshops to enhance your child’s summer learning:

  • Grade indicated is the grade your child is entering into for 2020-2021 school year.
  • All sessions require computer/Chromebook/tablet and Internet connection
  • Parents or adult students will be notified if the session has reached the student capacity or if the minimum has not been met to run the specific program. Applicants will receive an email as to the status before the course starts and as soon as we are able to provide an update. Some programs are available over multiple weeks and others are only available one time per child.

To register for Summer External Partner Programs, one registration per student, use: https://bit.ly/SummerPartnerPrograms (a parent with more than one child needs to register once per child but may select more than one program offering per child)

If you have questions about the programs or classes, call or email the Partnerships Unit at 240-740-5599 or Davida_Gurstelle@mcpsmd.org.
