Welcome Future Wolverines
Our newsletter for incoming 6th grade students
School Starts on Thursday, August 11th!
Greetings new 6th Graders and Families! Benton is looking forward to welcoming you this upcoming school year. The purpose of this newsletter is to keep you informed of important events and information to help you get ready for next year.
iPad Distribution will be Monday, July 25th from 8am-11:45am. All students have been assigned a particular time based on last name. If you are not able to make it, don't worry, we will get you an iPad once school has started.
6th Grade Orientation will be Thursday, August 4th. This is a great time to learn the campus, meet your new classmates, and have some fun. All 6th graders will be assigned to an 8th Grade WEB Leader who will serve as a mentor and someone to ask questions and provide support. Students whose last names begin with A-L attend from 9am-11am, and students with last names M-Z attend from 12noon to 2pm. Students should wear comfortable shoes for walking around, bring a water bottle and consider wearing a hat and sunscreen as they will be outdoors for part of the orientation.
You can purchase your P.E. clothes online, and they will be distributed during the first week of school.
You will pick up your class schedules on the first day of school. As you enter the campus, there will be tables labeled A-Z by last name. You will go to the table, tell them your name, and you will be given your schedule. Please be aware that during the first few weeks of school, schedules may change as we balance classes, add new students, check out others who have moved, etc.
