Academics – State Standards and Assessment

    The state of Wisconsin has established standards for various grade levels. Testing is a means of verifying if a student is meeting those standards. At the present time Bethany Lutheran School tests every student in grades three through eight using the Terra Nova standardized test.

Restraining Orders
Human Services

     According to state law each teacher is required to report suspected neglect or abuse of children to Human Services. Failure to do so can result in fines and arrest for teachers. If a child comes to school and shares with a teacher that parents have neglected the child's basic needs or hurt that child in any manner, a report must be filed with Human Services within 24 hours. This will be done without informing the parents. If you have any questions or concerns about this procedure, please speak with the Principal.
