Benton Weekly Update
Week 31: April 12-16, 2021
Welcome Back, we're in the final stretch of the School Year!
We are back from Spring Break and there are just 7 weeks left in the school year. There is no word yet on when middle and high schools will reopen for hybrid/in-person learning, but we will keep you posted when this information becomes available.
Coffee with the Administrators is Tuesday this week, both at 8am and again at 5pm. We will be discussing the procedures for school reopening and the safety precautions that will be in place. Please see the link below to join us.
Registration for next year will begin on April 30th. Keep a look out for an email with your snapcode as ALL students (yes, continuing and returning students, too) must be registered online for the upcoming school year.
Have an 8th grader? You'll want to mark your calendar for the "Surviving High School" webinar with Mr. Webster on Tuesday, May 4th at 6pm.
Yearbooks are now on Sale for $20, you can pay in the office or on the webstore.
Speaking of the yearbook, we're building a "FRIENDS" page and if your 8th grader has been friends with another Benton student since elementary school or before, send us a picture of the friends then and now by Friday, 4/16. Send photos with full names to Ms. Degener at edegener@nlmusd.org.
