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.

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. Samanthaâs 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.

The purpose of this survey is to help us evaluate the success of the hybrid conference model. Responses are voluntary and anonymous.
https://forms.gle/QztKGWjdGWc9KNhw7
For our parent-teacher conferences on February 2, 2023, we utilized a hybrid schedule where half of the conference time was virtual and half of the conference time was in-person.
From 3:30 to 5:30 pm, our conferences were virtual. During this time, teachers reached out via phone if they had any academic concerns about a student. They were also available to answer parent emails and call if a parent requested contact.
From 5:30 to 7:30 pm, our doors were open for traditional, in-person conferences. Any parent was welcome to join us and visit with their child's teachers.
BMS Parent/Teacher conferences will be held this evening- Thursday, Feb. 2.
