My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the strong sense of home and community, where everyone supports and leans on one another. Benton is a place where we belong and grow together.
We are so excited about all of the students who have already enrolled in 3PK, 4PK & Kindergarten for next year! Missed the registration night? No worries - please reach out to Atkins Elementary, Keystone Elementary or our Central Office to register.

My favorite thing about being a Bobcat is the relationships that I have built. Watching students grow over the years and being part of a community that truly supports kids and families makes Benton a place to belong.
Benton Community and Central Lutheran will be running a 2 hour late start schedule tomorrow, Monday, January 26. Please remember that there are no morning activities on a late start. Also, there is no breakfast served. The AM and PM preschool session times have been adjusted.
Due to the prediction of extreme cold and the safety of our staff and students, Benton Community & Central Lutheran will have a Student Virtual Learning Day tomorrow, Friday, January 23. Information about student expectations has been sent to students and families through email. Please reach out to your student's building with any specific questions. Thanks for your flexibility as we try this for the first time this school year.
Kindergarten and Preschool Pre-Registration will be Wednesday, February 4, 2026 from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. at both Atkins Elementary & Keystone Elementary.
