Our centers welcomed students and families in for our open houses yesterday. There is so much excitement for the start of another year! Many thanks to all who helped to make the “Welcome Back” such a positive experience!
Associates from throughout the district gathered for some professional learning in preparation for another school year. This group of employees is such a valuable entity to supporting students throughout our system. Benton is so fortunate to have so many dedicated individuals serving students. If you’re interested in joining this group as an associate, please check out the employment posting on our website.
On Wednesday, our staff engaged in learning around topics related to school safety and both physical and mental health. Not only does this embody the Bobcat core value of Teamwork, it also emphasizes the Caring/Belonging value by the way in which we work to support the needs of each and every learner. Many thanks to our staff and community partners who helped to provide this important information.
Benton Community School District is proud to share Alumni Spotlights focusing on "Where are you now?" If you would be interested in sharing your post-graduation journey with us, we would love to hear from you!
