Angie Grant Elementary School

We have had several families ask for virtual learning help during the evening...so we are happy to offer a second training to help parents with navigating virtual learning on Thursday, September 10 at 5:30 p.m. in the Angie Grant cafeteria. Hope to see you there!

Thanks to a USDA waiver, Benton Schools is proud to announce FREE meals for all students. Starting Tuesday, September 7, all Benton students can receive a breakfast and a lunch every day, at no cost. Virtual students may also receive this same benefit by signing up for meal pick up. This waiver is effective thru December 31, 2020. It is still very important to complete a free/reduced application.
