Today during our annual Opening Session, we had the opportunity to celebrate the incredible staff members who have reached milestone years of service at Benton Community School District.
Their dedication, commitment, and contributions have made a lasting impact on our students, schools, and community. We are grateful for the years of service they have given to Benton and look forward to celebrating many more milestones together!

New staff were formally welcomed to Benton Community by administrators and teacher leaders on Thursday. Part of the orientation experience included a tour of every community in the district. It provides a great way for our new staff to experience all of the communities and school buildings that make up Bobcat Country while also providing time to get to know each other. We are so fortunate!
Help us welcome a few new staff members to our Bobcat team!
Congratulations to these outstanding Benton Community students on earning the Iowa Seal of Biliteracy! 🎉 In addition to this prestigious recognition, these students have also earned an Industry-Recognized Credential (IRC), highlighting their readiness for college, careers, and future opportunities.
The Iowa Seal of Biliteracy recognizes students who have demonstrated a high level of proficiency in English and at least one additional language. In most cases at Benton Community, this is Spanish. This is a remarkable accomplishment that reflects dedication, perseverance, and a passion for learning. Their bilingual skills will serve them well as they continue to make an impact in an increasingly connected world.
Thanks to our Spanish teachers, Mrs. Telgenhoff and Mrs. Neve for their work to make this opportunity possible for Bobcats!
We are incredibly proud of these Bobcats for reaching this milestone and representing Benton Community. Congratulations on this well-deserved achievement! 💙💛

Last week, one of our summer learning groups gathered for the final session of their book study on Mattering. Throughout the summer, this dedicated group of Bobcats has spent time reflecting, learning, and engaging in meaningful conversations about what it truly means to create a culture where every person feels seen, valued, and connected.
We were especially excited to welcome a special guest to our final session, retired Benton Community teacher Gina Embray, who first reached out to recommend Mattering. It was a privilege to have Gina join the conversation, share her insights, and continue making an impact on our district through her passion for helping others feel valued and connected.
As we prepare to welcome students back, we are reminded that one of the most important things we can do is ensure that every Bobcat, students and adults alike, knows they matter.
Those everyday moments of connection, encouragement, and belonging have the power to shape experiences and change lives. At Benton Community, we are committed to being A Place to Belong, where every individual is known, valued, and supported.
Thank you to everyone who invested their summer in this important work. Your commitment will have a lasting impact on our schools and our community.

2026-2027 Benton Community Vacation Planner is Here! 💙💛
At Benton Community, we know some of life's best memories are made on family adventures. Whether it's a long weekend away, a holiday tradition, or a special trip together, we want to help families plan ahead whenever possible.
That's why we've created our 2026-2027 Vacation Planner—a quick reference highlighting longer school breaks and holiday weekends that may provide opportunities to travel while minimizing missed instructional time.
At the same time, we know that every day in school matters. Consistent attendance helps students build strong relationships, stay engaged in learning, and experience the routines and opportunities that contribute to their success. While there are times when missing school is unavoidable, planning family trips around scheduled breaks helps students make the most of both their learning and their family time.
📅 Take a look at the planner, save it for future reference, and use it as you begin making plans for the year ahead.
Thank you for partnering with us to support student success—both in the classroom and through the meaningful experiences families create together.
🐾 Go Bobcats!
