BGS Parents, I want to thank you for a great semester with some truly outstanding kids! Today, we had a fantastic final day of the fall semester! I also want to thank our faculty and staff for the tremendous job they have done navigating the challenges the last two years have presented. We are really blessed to have such a marvelous staff at Benton #47. We look forward to seeing you January 4, 2022, to kick off what I believe will be an incredible spring term. On behalf of myself, the Board of Education, and everybody at Benton #47 – Merry Christmas!

BGS Parents: From the very beginning of the pandemic, our goals at Benton #47 focused on the following: 1). the health and safety of all students and staff, and 2). serving our students’ academic and social/emotional needs at the highest level possible through high quality, face-to-face instruction. As a result, we have celebrated numerous daily victories combined with a few setbacks along the way. Over the last several weeks, a surge of COVID-19 combined with the spread of flu and other illnesses have had a significant impact on our ability to operate day-to-day. Our student and staff attendance numbers have reached a concerning level. Therefore, I have consulted with Bi-County Health Dept. and the Regional Office of Education #21 to implement an adaptive pause making our last day of school prior to Christmas break this Friday, December 17. We will return on Tuesday, January 4, 2022. I apologize for any inconvenience this might create. However, my hope is this will allow time for all those who are ill to safely heal in time to celebrate Christmas with family and friends. Merry Christmas – Dr. Steve Smith
