POWERSCHOOL ATTENDANCE CONFUSION
Have you gone into PowerSchool and noticed your child has a large number of absences, but was really only gone a short amount of time??? Please don’t panic, our school day in PowerSchool is made up of 6 periods (1 for each hour of the school day.) For example if a student is out sick for the day it will show 6 absences for that one day instead of 1 absence for the whole day.
National Counseling Week Feb. 6-10
Thank you to our WONDERFUL school counselors for all they do!

Save the Date! Bennett Family Fun Night: Friday, April 28th 5:30-7pm.
We are excited to bring back business donations along with classroom theme baskets for the Silent Auction fundraiser this year. Do you have a business that can donate an item, service or monetary donation? With the funds raised, the PTA is able to support teacher grants, special projects, and a variety of classroom activities that are not possible with district funding alone. Your generosity and support are very appreciated and will ensure a successful event.
Hope you can join us for an evening of Games, Food, & FUN- more details to follow!
For donation inquiries please contact Sarah Schmautz 701-320-0346 or sarah.schmautz@hotmail.com
Kind Regards,
Bennett PTA
