There is a strong commitment in the Benton School District to the creation and maintenance of a school environment that presents our students with the opportunity to study and learn under the best conditions possible. A key factor in providing a positive learning environment is the success realized by the school in its effort to promote positive behavior among its students. The Benton School District offers an educational program designed to meet the academic, career, and social needs of its students. Just as students have the right to expect programs of high quality where they can fully develop their knowledge and skills, the school also expects all students to participate in a positive and productive manner. This balance between a quality program and positive student behavior ensures an effective learning environment for all. The maintenance of a good learning atmosphere depends upon a sustained and cooperative effort on the part of students, parents or guardians, teachers and administrators.
