5th Grade group band rehearsals have started.  All 5th grade band members will need to have their instruments at school on Days 2, 4, & 6 every week.

No school and early dismiss days are the perfect time to make appointments so your child does not miss out on important academic time.  If you need a school calendar, please send an email to rvogel@benton.k12.ia.us and one will be sent home. 

Thank you to everyone for using the parent notepads when sending notes for your child and for calling in before 8:15 when your child is absent or going to be late.
