Benton School District may delay the start of school, dismiss early, or cancel school due to inclement weather or other emergency situations.
When a school closure, delayed start, or early dismissal is necessary, the district will make every effort to notify parents and staff as early as possible using the following communication channels:
Email and text messages to parents and staff
Benton School District social media pages (Facebook and Instagram)
Benton School District website (bentonschools.org)
The Saline Courier
Local television stations
District officials closely monitor weather forecasts and road conditions before making any decisions regarding school operations. The safety of our students, staff, and families is always our top priority during inclement weather.
