Mrs. Mueller (PN 2nd Grade teacher), Jackson (BMS 8th grader), Savannah (PN 5th grader), and Lydia Mueller (PN Kindergartener) spent a week in the Florida Keys! They enjoyed parasailing, snorkeling, finding key deer, sailing in the Gulf, shelling, swimming, and touring Fort Zachary Taylor, the Butterfly Observatory, and Key West Aquarium. A trip they won't soon forget! #BettSummerAdventures

Meet our newest BHS Professional Therapy Dog, Daphne! She is a 1.5-year-old labradoodle who is excited for school to start! Thanks to our Bettendorf Community Schools Foundation, Daphne is here to help create a positive, supportive learning environment for both students and staff. She will provide comfort during times of stress or anxiety, encourage emotional regulation, support social-emotional learning, and offer a calming presence throughout the school day.
