We also were number two in the state for overall growth on the ACT Aspire for middle level schools! Congrats to our friends at LJHS for their awesome growth as well! We are so proud of our students and teachers, with amazing support from home as well!

A big welcome to Megan Benton, our new theater and forensics teacher! Bio: I grew up in Rogers, and graduated from Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth. (Go Frogs!) I have an amazing daughter, Maron, who just turned 5 months old and two dogs, Fiona and Delta. I have been teaching for 16 years all over the United States from Washington, DC to Santa Fe, NM. I love to spend time with my family and friends, read any kind of book, and volunteer at Helping Hands. I enjoy traveling with my family in our RV, named Bessie, and I have been in love with Theatre and History for as long as I can remember. I adore coffee and my favorite color is purple.
Students- please consider auditioning for this classic! Ms. Benton is available in room 400 if you have questions.
Washington Junior High recently received the distinction of being a high-achievement and high-growth school for all students, including those who are economically disadvantaged.

IDs are required at all times on school property. District policy requires a $1 fee if a student forgets their ID to get a required temporary ID for the day and $5 if it needs to be replaced. Students should tie their ID on their backpacks when they get home so they don’t forget them the next day. Thanks for helping us with this new layer of safety and security!
Today Mrs. Pollreis and her yearbook kids had the opportunity to engage in a workshop to get the processes and creativity flowing. The yearbook is no small endeavor and takes months of prep and coordination. We can’t to see them in action this year at events and behind the scenes doing all of the editing!
Wildcat Families- tomorrow we will discuss the Student Handbook during Advisory. All 7th-12th grade Bentonville Schools students must now wear an ID at all times while on school property. Thanks for your help with this layer of safety on our campuses!
Reminder: Open House is Monday from 4:30-6:30. We can't wait to see you!
