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!
Thank you for the generous donation of 32 backpacks, water bottles, and headphones to Benton Community! Over the summer, Lucy Kuhl, 5th grade and Millie Kuhl, 2nd grade ran a lemonade stand in the Newhall area. Through their efforts, they were able to purchase these school supplies for students in grades K-6. Thank you for supporting our community and helping our students thrive!

Welcome to the Bobcat Family!
💙💛 The countdown to Bobcat athletics is on! Join the Benton Athletic Booster Club for the Annual Fall Kick-Off on Friday, August 21 at 5:00 PM as we celebrate the start of another exciting year of Benton Community activities.

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.
