How Can We Help You?

Bethel Technology Help Desks

Applications and Accounts

Bethel students are provided computer access privileges at school, as well as access to the Internet, email, digital communication and collaboration tools, online learning spaces and electronic educational resources. These resources, tools and equipment are essential to teaching and learning.

Active Directory

Each student is given an account in Active Directory that they will use to log on to any district-owned computer within the district network. These credentials are used to access the Destiny Library Catalog, Google Apps for Education and online curriculum.

Google Workspace for Education

This suite of apps is hosted by Google and managed by the District. This collection of online applications provides students with a Google email account, calendar and access to Google Drive, where students can create, share and publish documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and other products of their learning.

Online Curriculum

Most of the curriculum adopted in the District is accompanied by or depends on access to an online system where content and assessments are stored. Many of these systems require students to have a unique account created for them which allows them to access supplemental content, take quizzes, and strengthen their understanding about the ideas in a content area.

It is a web-based application that allows parents and students to log into a secure account from home, school or work where they can access assignments, grades and attendance, request reports, email teachers and more.

Technology Maintenance Window

Tuesdays: 5:00 to 9:00pm
Thursdays: 5:00 to 9:00pm

Technology Maintenance Window

Bethel’s technology systems need occasional routine maintenance to ensure updated and secure functionality. These maintenance tasks may require downtime and have an impact on one’s ability to access web pages, blogs, email or other Bethel School District technical systems.

To minimize this impact, Bethel’s Technology Department has established maintenance windows during non-business, non-school hours to perform these tasks.

Not all maintenance will require downtime or have an impact on end-users and this schedule does not include any emergency issues that may arise. The following outlines our predetermined schedules:

Tuesdays: 5:00 to 9:00pm

Thursdays: 5:00 to 9:00pm
