Dear Parents and Guardians,
Due to a temporary water outage affecting the Town of Benton this evening, we will likely be placed under a boil advisory, which is a standard safety precaution after a loss of water pressure.
To help ensure students stay hydrated, we are asking that students bring bottled water from home if possible.
Please know that the school will also have bottled water available for any student who needs it.
We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed. Thank you for your understanding and support.
