As a precautionary measure due to the increasing concerns of the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic and because of the recommendation of Governor Bill Lee, Benton County Schools will be closed Monday, March 16 through Friday, April 24, 2020. Also, all after school activities, (athletics, field trips,etc.), will be suspended during this time. Even though the Tennessee Department of Health has not reported any confirmed cases in our area, we have made this difficult decision in the best interest of our students, staff, and community. Thank you for your understanding! Please use the links below for the latest information from the Tennessee Department of Health and CDC on the Coronavirus.

We have prepared packets for our students at all grade levels. Packets will be available at the child's school on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9AM-1PM. Also, starting Wednesday, April 8, packets will be available at our Grab-N-Go locations during meal pickups. 

When you arrive at the school, please pull up to the front door and a school representative will be there to assist you.  In order to keep everyone as safe as possible, please stay in your car.

These packets are designed to last 2 weeks. We will let you know when new packets are available.
