Friday Newsletter! Have a great weekend.


Throughout the month of October, we discuss and practice a variety of safety drills. To help us do that, Deputy Brandt came to school with his gear and reviewed key fire safety topics.




Remember, K-3 students travel to Bloomsbury on Friday. Please have students wear closed toed shoes, pack a sack lunch, and bring a jacket!

Just a reminder that Benton Wrestling X-Grain Store will be closed after tomorrow. If you wanted Benton Wrestling gear, make sure to place your order today or tomorrow.

Wondering what BC staff worked on yesterday while students were at home? We were engaged in a variety of professional learning activities to support students throughout the district. Elementary staff focused on topics related to math vocabulary, PBIS structure, data review, and strategies to support advanced learners. Secondary staff participated in the national training around Youth Mental Health First Aid. Grant Wood AEA staff supported a variety of sessions held throughout the district. Teacher Leaders also met to collaborate around leadership topics related to student achievement. It was a full day focused on continuous improvement for adults in Bobcat Country!





Mrs. Z's positive reflection.
