Dear Benton Elementary parents and guardians,
Although the school year has not yet ended, we’re excited to share some early news about transportation changes coming in 2026-27 that we see as a real win for our Tiger family.
Beginning next year, Benton Elementary will have its own dedicated buses. We will no longer share routes with Benton Intermediate or Benton Middle. With this improvement comes a slight shift in our daily schedule:
New Schedule
8:00 – Students can begin arriving on campus
8:20 - First bell
8:25 - Tardy bell
3:25 - Dismissal (car line and buses load)
We’re sharing this information now so you have plenty of time to plan ahead. We hope you’re as excited as we are about these positive changes for our Benton Elementary community. If you have any questions please reach out to Kim Hawkins.
