Briarwood Elementary School will be on its regular schedule on Tuesday. However, the Health Clinic will still be closed.

Due to mechanical issues with the heating system at Briarwood School, there will be no school on Monday, December 2nd at Briarwood School only. This includes the Health Clinic. All other Benton County Schools will run on their normal schedule.

Due to damage to the main water line servicing the city of Camden, there will be no school Tuesday, November 26, 2024.

The Internet is down for the district and has disabled the telephone system. While we are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, we wanted to inform you of the situation.

Big Sandy Bus #16 will be about an hour late for the morning route.

Big Sandy Bus #4 will be one hour late in the morning, and all Big Sandy buses will be carrying a double load tomorrow afternoon to cover Bus #4. Expect delays in the afternoon if your child rides Bus #4.

If you want to get a flu shot, today is a great day to do so. The clinic is open to all Benton County Schools staff and students from 3 PM to 5:30 PM for these shots today.


There will be school Friday, September 27. Someone thought it would be funny to sow the seeds of chaos and fabricate a message saying school was canceled. You can always know if a post is real by checking our app or website.

The Internet and telephone system are down across the district. Please direct emergency inquires to 731.441.9601. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Please take note of this critical announcement from Sheriff Jeff Cassidy, President of the TN Sheriff's Association, regarding school threats.

We have received several concerns about a social media post tonight regarding a potential threat at Camden High. The Benton County School system and local law enforcement agencies are actively and thoroughly investigating the allegations.
There is no evidence of a threat against any Benton County school at this time. However, as a precaution, law enforcement will be present in increased numbers at schools tomorrow.

Attention Parents:
Please complete the current year's online registration if you haven't already. If you require any assistance, feel free to contact the school offices. Thank you!

Remember to check the school website or app to see what's on the menu for breakfast and lunch in September. All students will enjoy free breakfast and lunch this year.
