BCHS encourages all families to participate in the 2020 Census. It's quick and easy. The 2020 Census questionnaire will take about 10 minutes to complete. It's safe, secure, and confidential. Your information and privacy are protected. Your response helps to direct billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities for schools, roads, and other public services. Results from the 2020 Census will be used to determine the number of seats each state has in Congress and your political representation at all levels of government. In order to complete the 2020 Census questionnaire, go to https://my2020census.gov/ and click on the blue "Start Questionnaire" button. The deadline to complete the census questionnaire is September 30.
Transportation is now available at 3:10 pm Monday through Thursday for any BCHS student who attends after school tutoring and needs a ride home. Please remember it is imperative for students to book an appointment in advance, as seats are limited.
To make an appointment, go to www.bentonhighschool.org/21century, “click here for appointments” and select a tutoring seat on the day you wish to come. When you hit “save,” you are reserving a seat for tutoring and it should show up in your Google Calendar!
