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.
I have taught at Benton for 17 years, teaching 4th grade, then kindergarten, on to a 2nd/3rd grade combo classroom and now 4th grade again in Norway. I have amazing co-workers who have become wonderful friends and I truly enjoy getting to teach and share my passions with awesome kiddos and families every day. In my free time I love to stay active by running, biking, hiking, walking my dog or playing volleyball. I also love reading, listening to live music, traveling and gardening in the summer.
Due to predicted low temperatures, there will be no morning activities or practices tomorrow, Tuesday, January 31st.
I am a 5th grade teacher in Norway Intermediate. My hobbies outside of school include reading, fishing, keeping my many houseplants alive, and the occasional cross-stitching. This is my first year at Benton, yet I feel like I fit right in! Benton's staff and community allow me to love what I do. #APlaceToBelong
Congratulations!
