Caldwell Parents,
It was a great first day of this 2021-2022 school year! We will all sleep well tonight!
Don't forget to send a water bottle with you student each day. The water fountains will remain off, but we have bottle filling stations around the school where students can refill throughout the day. We want to make sure our kiddos stay hydrated! Thank you for your help!

It's getting closer! We can't wait to see everyone!
Don't forget tonight is Open House for 1st-4th grades! There will be 15 minute blocks for you to drop in to meet your teacher and drop off school supplies. Please attend time by last name in the alphabetical group below.
(A-D) 5:30 (E-I) 5:50 (J-M) 6:10 (N-R) 6:30 (S-Z) 6:50
After your classroom time, all parents are invited to the cafeteria for a 10-15 minute presentation.
Two adults will be allowed to attend with your Caldwell student(s). Thank you for leaving siblings at home to keep the number of people down in the building for everyone's safety. Our safety protocols again include no visitors, including the first day of school. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

In 1 week Benton Panthers will be back in the classroom for the 2021-2022 school year. The School Board approved on Monday August 9th to purchase air purifiers for all classrooms in the district.
With this purchase, students and staff will begin the year under the same guidelines as we ended the 2020-2021 school year. Masks will be optional for staff and students.
We will continue to follow guidelines from the Arkansas Department of Health and Arkansas Department of Education.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Third grade has been reading Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. They have done an awesome job with summarizing and determining the central message! To celebrate the end of our book study, they did several challenges through a Breakout Box that ultimately led to ACTUAL Freckle Juice!
