**Welcome to Our Family Engagement Events Page!**
At Somerset Academy Bethany, we believe that family involvement is key to creating a strong, supportive school community where students thrive. By working together, families and educators can build connections that enhance student success, foster a sense of belonging, and improve the overall school climate.
Throughout the year, we are excited to host a variety of Family Engagement Events designed to bring families, students, and staff together. These events offer opportunities for parents and guardians to participate in the school experience, strengthen bonds with their children, and connect with other families in a fun and welcoming environment.

Why Family Engagement Matters
Family engagement plays a crucial role in student success. Research shows that when families are involved in school activities, children perform better academically, have better attendance, and feel more supported both in and out of the classroom. Our goal with these events is to create an inclusive and connected community where families and educators work hand-in-hand to support every child’s development.
We invite you to join us throughout the year for these special events. Together, we can create a stronger, more vibrant school community!
Do you have an idea for an exciting Family Engagment event? Is there something you would like to see the school do? Contact Mrs. Diaz with your ideas.
