💧 BIG NEWS, CJHS: Water is officially invited to class. 😄
Camden Jr. High students may bring a water bottle to help stay hydrated throughout the school day, but before your bottle starts planning its first day of school, there are a few rules:
💧 Water only. Your Mountain Dew does not become water just because you put it in a water bottle. Nice try.
👀 Clear bottles only. If we can’t see through it, it doesn’t make the cut.
🔒 Bring a lid. We’re hydrating students, not Chromebooks.
🚫 No flipping, tossing, spraying, or bottle gymnastics. Your water bottle has not been accepted into the circus.
🧼 Keep it clean and keep it with you.
Bring your bottle. Drink your water. Follow the rules.
And remember: Hydrated brains make better decisions. 💧🧠
Please review the flyer for the full Camden Jr. High School Water Bottle Policy before sending your student and their new hydration sidekick off to school! 🦁🖤💛
**Stay Connected with Benton County Schools: Just Two Apps to Keep You Informed**
At Benton County Schools, we want communicating with your child's school to be as simple and convenient as possible. To help eliminate confusion about which app to use, families only need **two apps** to stay connected with everything happening in our schools.
📚 **ParentVUE (NEW)**
ParentVUE is your source for student information. Through ParentVUE, you can:
• View your child's class schedule
• Check grades and report cards
• Monitor attendance
• Access important student information
📱 **The Benton County Schools (BCOS) App**
Many of you already use the BCOS App to receive district and school announcements, weather-related closures, and other important updates. Now, the app has been enhanced with **Rooms**, making communication even easier.
With **Rooms**, you can securely communicate with your child's teachers and coaches directly within the BCOS App. Instead of wondering which messaging app a classroom, team, or club is using, you'll have one convenient place for school communication.
Our goal is simple: **less confusion, better communication, and stronger connections between home and school.**
If you already have the BCOS App installed, watch for your invitation to activate **Rooms**. If you're new to either app, we encourage you to download both ParentVUE and the Benton County Schools App so you'll have everything you need to stay informed and engaged throughout the school year.
Thank you for partnering with Benton County Schools. We appreciate the opportunity to work together in supporting the success of every student.

🦁 **LIONS, ASSEMBLE!** 🦁
Who needs sleep when you can have SNOWBALLS and SHOULDER PADS at midnight?! 🏈✨
That's right, Lion Pride — we're kicking off football season the ONLY way we know how: LOUD, PROUD, and WAY past our bedtime. 🌙
📅 **July 26–27**
⏰ **10:30 PM** (yes, PM — the moon will be our stadium lights)
📍 **On the Football Field**
Come watch our boys hit the field for their FIRST padded practice at 12:00 AM sharp — because apparently our Lions do their best roaring when the rest of the county is snoring. 😴➡️😱
🍧 Happy Camper snowballs on deck
✨ Glow sticks, light-up footballs & tattoos from our cheerleaders
🖤💛 Wear your Black & Gold and bring those chants!
We've got ONE TEAM, ONE PRIDE, and approximately ZERO chill.
**The Lions are ready... are YOU?** (Coffee is optional. Team spirit is NOT.) ☕🦁

Benton County Schools is excited to share that parent-teacher communication is moving to Rooms, a secure tool built into the Apptegy district app. Rooms gives families one convenient place to receive classroom updates and message teachers, eliminating the need to juggle multiple apps.
With Rooms, parents and guardians can:
• Send and receive secure, two-way messages with teachers and staff.
• View classroom announcements, reminders, and shared materials in the app.
• Receive messages by app notification, email, or text, with automatic translation available for preferred languages.
In the coming days, families will receive an email and/or text invitation from Apptegy to join Rooms and connect to their student. Once your account is set up, open the Benton County Schools app and tap Rooms to see your child’s classes and messages.

Attention all students who completed the Medical Assisting course at the Career and Technical Center.

All children entering 7th grade in Tennessee must show proof of a tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (Tdap) booster vaccination. This is required prior to starting their 7th-grade year.
Your child will need an up-to-date TN Certificate of Immunization by the first day of the 2026-2027 school year. This certificate must include all past immunizations as well.
Please bring a copy of your child's updated TN immunization record to their school after they receive their TDAP booster. Talk to your child’s doctor, nurse, or clinic about any other recommended vaccines.
Exceptions will be granted to any student whose parent/guardian files a signed, written statement that required vaccinations conflict with religious practices. If the exception is due to medical reasons, a written statement from the student’s doctor will be required to excuse them from immunizations.
The Benton Co. School Health Clinic is now open, and kindergarten immunizations and TTDAP boosters are available. Feel free to call to make an appointment for your child to receive their vaccine (731-325-5231).

***IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS WHO TOOK THE ACT THIS SPRING***
Based on its continual evaluation of scores, ACT has informed us that it needs to reissue scores for students who took the ACT online during the school day this spring. If you are among those students, your current score will be removed from your MyACT account on Wednesday, May 13. When scores are available again (no later than June 2), your Composite score and section scores will remain the same or increase slightly based on your individual performance. Your scores will NOT be lower than what was previously released. There is no action you need to take. ACT will post revised scores on MyACT and resend them to your school. If you previously opted to send scores via ACT to a college, university, or scholarship-awarding organization, they, too, will be sent any updated scores.

All official Benton County School fundraisers will be announced through the school’s official social media accounts, the school district app, or by flyers sent home with students.
