Parents, as we start a new exciting school year, it can be confusing to navigate the car line. Please check out the car flow map before the first day to ensure a smooth drop-off and pick-up.

Sugar Creek Families, we have a new section on our website called "Back to School Information": https://www.bentonvillek12.org/o/sces/page/back This section will answer most questions about everything from Open House to traffic flow for pick up and drop off, Adventure Club, PTO, bus information, contact for staff, etc. We are hoping this will "bee" a huge help to everyone, especially our new families.


Orders are due 8/20 for your 24-25 school shirts. We are "buzzing" with excitement for the new school year!


Please see the attached dates. We are so excited to see everyone soon!
