District Websites, Staff & Student Emails
Beginning Tuesday, May 26, 2026, Bettendorf Community School District will transition to a new online domain: BettSchools.org. The shorter, simpler address will be easier to remember and type.
District and school websites will now be:
District website: bettschools.org
School websites: (school initials).bettschools.org
(Example: bhs.bettschools.org)
Staff and student email addresses will also transition to the new @bettschools.org format.
Please note:
You will still be able to reach websites and staff using the same naming convention you use today.
As we approach the end of the school year, here are important dates for families. Due to sufficient instructional hours already built into our calendar, the January 23 weather closure will not need to be made up, and the school year will not be extended.
