THANK YOU to Voters of B-C-S for Your Support and Confidence in What We Do!
We will continue to make you proud!
Last week our 3.9 mill property tax was passed by voters. It is a momentous WIN for the students, staff, and community of Benton-Carroll-Salem School District! Our tradition of excellence will continue and grow!
On behalf of the Board of Education and Treasurer Cajon Keeton, I wish to thank the community for their vote of support. We will continue to work hard to make our community proud of the educational opportunities of B-C-S, and continue to work equally hard to be excellent stewards of the tax payers hard earned dollars.
GO ROCKETS!

R.C. Waters Would like to Highlight the Top Class Dojo Winners for the Month of October!
R.C. Waters Elementary participates in a school wide initiative. It is called Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). PBIS is a process for creating safer and more effective schools by allowing a safe and productive learning environment where teachers can teach and all students can learn. R.C. Waters has adopted a unified set of expectations for behavior in our school. The unified classroom expectations, found in every classroom and non-classroom settings in the school, are as follows: Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Ready.
Student behavior is documented using a tool called ClassDojo. ClassDojo is a free behavior tracking system that reinforces positive behaviors and quickly engages students in becoming accountable for their own choices. One of the main benefits is the easy opportunity to communicate with parents. On a scheduled rotation, students are able to “shop” from the Dojo reward cart using the points they have earned for meeting the behavior expectations.

WHATS GOING ON AT OAK HARBOR HIGH SCHOOL?
Veterans Day Assembly at OHHS!
Join the OHHS Thespians as we present CLUE
On a dark and stormy night, six unique guests, plus a butler and a maid, assemble for a dinner party at the home of Mr. Boddy. When their host turns up dead, it is clear that no one is safe! Soon the guests are racing to find the killer and keep the body count from stacking up. Based on the popular board game and adapted from the cult classic film, Clue is the comedy whodunit that will keep you guessing (and laughing) to the very end.
Join the OHHS Thespians Nov. 15-17 as we present CLUE. Show times are Friday at 7:30; a special Saturday matinee at 1:00, and a Sunday matinee at 2:00. Tickets, $8.00 for adults and $6.00 for students and seniors, are available at the door or from any cast member.
Whodunnit? You'll have to wait and see!

WHATS GOING ON AT OUR PRESCHOOL CLASSROOM AT NORTH POINT EDUCATIONAL SERVICE CENTER?
See what our Preschool Classroom is up to at North Point Educational Service Center located at Graytown!
We are enjoying November by doing lots of fall activities! Within our curriculum, we learned about trees and how they change, as well as what we can make with parts of trees. We compared ourselves to trees by measuring how tall we are and how much we’ve grown since being a baby, just like a sprout grows into a tree. We also painted with Indian corn and made our name turkeys. Finally, we celebrated Veterans Day by thanking one of our favorite veterans, Mr. Ryan Smith, for his service. We also had the honor of doing the Pledge of Allegiance with him.
Pre-Sale Tickets for Saturday's Game!
On-line Pre-sale tickets for Saturday night’s football game vs Eastwood are on sale. Tickets will also be available at school later this week. Stay tuned for more information
