The City of Benton is repairing a water main break at the south end of our playground. They have closed Durley street, which is the main entrance to our parking lot after school.

You will still exit on South Street, which is the normal exit. Please see the attached map. Feel free to arrive early to pick up your child if desired to avoid the after school congestion.
