My name is Cynda Mehlert and I am in my 12th year of teaching. I am a Special Education Teacher at Atkins Elementary but have taught in multiple buildings and grade levels throughout my 9 years at Benton Community. My husband Chad and I live in Atkins and have three kids, (Jaxson, Leigha, and Logan) who are students in the district. We spend most of our time watching our boys wrestle, camping with our friends and family, or cheering on the Hawkeyes!

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.
Kindergarten and Preschool Pre-Registration will be Monday, February 6, 2023 from 4:00-6:00 p.m. at both Atkins Elementary & Keystone Elementary.
