Tyler Maschino is currently the Technology Director at Benton Community Schools. He’s been employed at Benton for the past 24 years. When he first got here email was a big deal and data was stored on 1.44 inch floppy disks. Those disks wouldn’t have the space to store one photo taken with an iPhone today.

HS Boys: There will be a boys golf meeting TODAY during 5th block in Mr. Suiter's room. If you cannot make the meeting please see Mr. Suiter.

MS Student Council: There will be a middle school student council meeting TODAY in Mrs. Jones' room during 5th block.

I have taught at Benton for 17 years, teaching 4th grade, then kindergarten, on to a 2nd/3rd grade combo classroom and now 4th grade again in Norway. I have amazing co-workers who have become wonderful friends and I truly enjoy getting to teach and share my passions with awesome kiddos and families every day. In my free time I love to stay active by running, biking, hiking, walking my dog or playing volleyball. I also love reading, listening to live music, traveling and gardening in the summer.

Due to predicted low temperatures, there will be no morning activities or practices tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31st.
