PUBLIC RELEASE
Benton County Schools today announced its policy for free and reduced-price meals for children served in schools under the National School Lunch Program and/or School Breakfast Program. For School Year 2026-2027, Benton County Schools will continue participation in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP). No further action is required of you. This USDA provision allows your child(ren) to participate in the school meal programs without having to pay a fee or submit a meal application.
CEP is a key provision of the Healthy, Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010, which allows schools and school districts in low-income areas to eliminate school meal applications and serve breakfast and lunch at no charge to all enrolled students. CEP gives food service professionals more time to focus on preparing nutritious meals that their students will enjoy and gives students more time to eat those meals by cutting down on time spent in the lunch line. More importantly, by offering all students a nutritious breakfast and lunch at no cost, CEP helps ensure more students come to class well-nourished and ready to learn.
Children need healthy meals to learn. Benton County Schools offers healthy meals every school day. Breakfast and lunch meals will follow the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines for healthy school meals, so please encourage students to participate. “In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, color, national origin, age or disability.”
Parents or guardians who need further information may contact Michele Wright, School Nutrition Program Director, at 731-584-6111.
USDA NONDISCRIMINATION STATEMENT
In accordance with federal civil rights law and USDA civil rights regulations and policies, the USDA, its agencies, offices, employees, and institutions participating in or administering USDA programs are prohibited from discriminating based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, age, marital status, family/parental status, income derived from a public assistance program, political beliefs, or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity, in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA (not all bases apply to all programs). Remedies and complaint filing deadlines vary by program or incident.
Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g., Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the state or local agency that administers the program or contact USDA through the Telecommunications Relay Service at 711 (voice and TTY). Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.
To file a program discrimination complaint, complete the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form,AD-3027, found online at How to File a Program Discrimination Complaint and at any USDA office or write a letter addressed to USDA and provide in the letter all of the information requested in the form. To request a copy of the complaint form, call (866) 632-9992. Submit your completed form or letter to USDA by:
1. Mail: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Mail Stop 9410, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410;

A Legacy of Service. A Lasting Impact.
On Monday, August 3, 2026, the Benton County Board of Education recognized the end of an era as Brent Hedge and Justin Thornton attended their final meeting as members of the Board.

Holladay School Kicks Off the Year with a Back-to-School Bash!
The halls of Holladay School were buzzing with excitement as students returned for their first day of school on Monday, August 3. To celebrate a great start to the new school year, students and staff wrapped up the day with a fun-filled Back-to-School Bash packed with laughter, teamwork, and friendly competition.
The celebration featured a variety of exciting games that had everyone cheering. Teachers and kindergarten students competed in energetic Stick Horse Races, while grade levels competed against one another in an Over-Under Beach Ball Relay. Classes also put their teamwork to the test during a hilarious Beach Ball Toss, where teachers attempted to catch students' flying beach balls using oversized "Granny Pants." The festivities concluded with the fast-paced Head, Shoulders, Knees, Pom Pom challenge, where students raced head-to-head to grab the pom pom before their opponent.
After an afternoon of fun, everyone enjoyed popcorn and drinks generously provided by the Holladay PTH, making the celebration even sweeter.
Principal Amy Davis reminded students that the fun won't stop with the first day of school. Throughout the year, students can look forward to random attendance rewards, including surprise treats and special activities designed to celebrate being at school.
"Good things are always happening at Holladay School," Mrs. Amy Davis shared. "You never know when a surprise might be waiting, so be here every day—you won't want to miss out!"
With an exciting first day in the books, Holladay School is already off to a fantastic start and looking forward to a year filled with learning, friendships, and plenty of unforgettable memories.

**📍 Family Adventure Alert!**
Parents, consider this your official permission slip to start daydreaming. 😄
The school calendar isn't just full of dates. It's full of opportunities to unplug, pile into the car, argue over the playlist, stop for snacks you definitely didn't plan to buy, and make memories your family will be laughing about for years.
From long weekends and Fall Break to Winter Break, Spring Break, and the first glorious day of summer, we've turned this year's calendar into your **Family Adventure Planner**. Whether you're headed to the Great Smoky Mountains, Discovery Park of America, Reelfoot Lake, Dollywood, a Tennessee State Park, or just Grandma's house for homemade biscuits, every break is another chance to spend time together.
No passport required. Just a little planning... and maybe an emergency bag of trail mix.
So grab a pen, gather the family, and start filling in those adventure boxes. The best vacations aren't always the farthest away. Sometimes they're just a tank of gas, a scenic back road, and a cooler full of sandwiches.
Here's to discovering new places, trying new things, and making 2026-2027 a school year filled with learning **and** unforgettable family memories.
**Happy planning, safe travels, and remember... the homework can wait until after the ice cream stop. 🍦🚗**

🚸 Public Service Announcement from Benton County Schools 🚸
Just when the alarm clock thought it had won…
📚 School starts TOMORROW!
We’ll hit the books Monday through Wednesday, then take a quick timeout:
🗳️ Thursday, August 6: No school for Election Day.
🎡 Friday, August 7: No school for Fair Day.
It’s almost like the calendar is easing everyone back into the school routine… kind of like dipping your toes into the pool before cannonball season. 😄
As buses roll, backpacks bounce, and lunchboxes make their triumphant return, please watch for school buses, slow down in school zones, and give yourself a few extra minutes during the morning and afternoon commute. A little patience goes a long way toward keeping everyone safe.
Here’s to an outstanding 2026-2027 school year filled with learning, laughter, new friendships, and great memories. We can’t wait to welcome our students back!
Have a safe week, enjoy the long weekend, and let’s make this the best school year yet! 🦁📚🍎
Holladay School teachers participated in incident command drills and school bus evacuation training as part of our School Safety Professional Development. Homeland Security Agent Jason Lowery presented various safety scenarios for teacher groups to discuss and problem-solve. Bus driver Sherry Sigler brought her bus so teachers could practice the available exits in case of an emergency and brainstorm different safety scenarios that might occur during bus transportation. Teachers are working to prepare for back-to-school next week.
**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.

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).
PLEASE NOTE: The Clinic closes Friday, May 22, 2026, and will reopen Monday, July 20, 2026, for the new school year
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the school nurse at your child’s school.
