Benefield Parent Newsletter
May 6, 2018
Greetings Benefield Parents-
It's Teachers Appreciation Week at Benefield! Let's show our teachers how much we love and appreciate them. Our PTA has put together a list of fun suggestions for your child. Please look for this in the Friday folder and a copy has been provided below.
We are in the process of creating class list for the 2018-19 school year and would like to extend an opportunity for you to provide input regarding your child's placement. A form was sent home with your child for your feedback. While you cannot request a specific teacher, you can list qualities you would like in a teacher. Please note that request for a particular teacher will not be honored.
Please continue reading to find out what is going on in and around Benefield.
Your PROUD principal,
Mrs. Stevens

If your child has any medication in the clinic, you will receive a letter that needs to be returned to the clinic by May 11, 2018. Please confirm on the letter if you will or will not pick up your child’s medication.
ALL medication will need to be picked up by the last day of school, May 23, 2018. Any medication left after the last day of school will be disposed of per Gwinnett County Public School policies.
PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TRANSPORT MEDICATION TO AND FROM SCHOOL!
