On Wednesday, April 8th at 10 am, join us for a Community Meeting on Facebook Live (@BCS.Schools) with Superintendent Guy Parmigian.
This meeting will feature the latest information and updates, and provide for Q & A.
School Meal Update
Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools continues its free meal service for students. All students can get both breakfast and lunch Monday--Friday at no charge. Parents or caregivers may pick-up meals without their child present, but will need to provide the students name and address for verification. The drive through service for all students (including Penta students) will take place at R.C. Waters Elementary School between the hours of 9:00 AM and 12:00 Noon, Monday through Friday. Meals being picked up do not need to be ordered ahead. If you are unable to pick up your child's meal, you may request delivery to your home by calling 419-898-6219. If you need a delivery please call between 8--10 AM. Again, the breakfast and lunch meals will be free for all B-C-S students.

Mental Health and Well Being
These are challenging times for adults, and more so for young people. If you think your child can benefit from talking to a counselor, please do not hesitate to call your child's school on March 30 or after.
I also want to remind you of the Crisis Text Line:
Text HOME to 741741 from anywhere in the United States, anytime, about any type of crisis.
One suggestion for our overall mental health is for us to all get outside and walk, or do some kind of physical activity (while practicing social distancing). Something as simple as a walk can do wonders for the mood and help with anxiety.

Entrance age to Kindergarten Change
2/27/2020
TO: All Stakeholders
I am writing to make you aware that the school district has changed its policy on the entrance age to Kindergarten. Effectively immediately, each child who is five years of age on or before August 1 is eligible to enroll in Kindergarten.
Prior to this, students had to be five years of age on or before September 30.
The district has made this change based on Kindergarten readiness research, and upon the recommendation of the staff and administration of R.C. Waters Elementary School. This change is in the best interests of students who will enter Kindergarten, and will improve the prospects of their educational career. This change to August 1st also puts Benton-Carroll-Salem Schools in line with the vast majority of school districts in our area.
Sincerely,
Guy L. Parmigian
Superintendent
