Due to the LEARNS Act, we can no longer count AMI (Alternative Methods of Instruction) days toward the state-required 178 student instruction days. Therefore, if school is canceled due to a weather event, the day(s) will be added to the end of the school year. Decisions regarding school closings will most likely be made the day of.
The Benton School District will be closed November 20-24 for Thanksgiving Break. We look forward to seeing our Panthers on Monday, November 27th.
On Sunday, November 5th, Daylight Savings Time ends.
Don't forget to fall back and adjust your clocks before you go to bed on Saturday night so you can get that extra hour of sleep!

One of our Panthers needs our help. This is Samantha. She is a 10 year student at Caldwell Elementary. Samantha’s leukemia has recently relapsed. Her best chance for a cure is a bone marrow or stem cell transplant.
It only take a few minutes and just a swab of the cheek to see if you could be a LIFESAVING match for Samantha or others in need. There will be a Swabbing for Samantha event this Saturday.
Donor Swab ➖ 18-55 years old
🗓️ Saturday September 23rd
⏰ 8am- 12pm & 2pm- 6pm

Did you know that September is HUNGER ACTION MONTH nationwide and is the beginning of the 2022 peanut butter drive? Each of our schools will be collecting jars of peanut butter throughout the month. The school that collects the most peanut butter will receive a trophy and bragging rights for the year! All peanut butter collected goes directly to a Saline County food pantry.
