DR. Nolte

Welcome Back to BES, Dr. Nolte!

We are excited to share some wonderful news with our Bethel Elementary families — Dr. Bill Nolte is returning to BES as our Interim Assistant Principal for the remainder of the school year!

Dr. Nolte is no stranger to Bethel. He served as principal of BES in the mid-1990s, and many of our long-time staff members remember his leadership fondly. His connection to our school runs deep, and we are thrilled to welcome him back home.

I also had the privilege of working under Dr. Nolte in the past and always hoped our paths would cross again professionally. I’m so grateful that our students, staff, and families will benefit from his experience and heart for schools.

In his role at BES, Dr. Nolte will help support:

  • School operations
  • Bus and arrival/dismissal procedures
  • Staff support and evaluations
  • Other day-to-day needs that help our school run smoothly

Dr. Nolte will be with us part-time, and we will share his schedule once it is finalized.

Please join us in giving Dr. Nolte a warm Bethel welcome back when you see him on campus! 💙
