⭐️‼️IMPORTANT TESTING INFO‼️⭐️
As we welcome students back from Thanksgiving Break, we want to share important testing reminders for all Benton HS students and families.
⭐️Testing will take place December 2nd - December 18th, beginning with LEAP testing in required courses. ALL STUDENTS will take final exams on Tuesday 12/17 & Wednesday 12/18. It is very important that all students are present on days they are testing. In all high school courses, final exams are a percentage of the student's final course grade.
⭐️Please encourage students to eat a good breakfast, be on time, and stay focused over the final weeks of the semester!
⭐️BPSTIL students: AM BPSTIL Student drivers should report directly back to BHS after BPSTIL dismissal to reduce missed class time at the start of 3rd block. If students arrive after the start of the third block, they should check into the attendance window. (Depending on the testing day, 3rd block starts 9-21 minutes earlier than the normal schedule).
