On behalf of the faculty and staff of Bennett Elementary School, we wish to extend a warm welcome to all of our students. We are looking forward to an exciting and rewarding school year.

This handbook is intended to serve as a summary of our rules, procedures, and expectations and it is not meant to be all-inclusive. If you have any questions, please feel free to discuss them with any faculty member, staff, or administrator.

In light of the enhanced focus on safety and security in our schools, we are writing to let you know that we will begin using a new visitor management system in all of our schools starting in September. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times, and our new system will enable us to do that.

Transportation information for the 2018-19 school year is now available on the student/parent portal. Please log in for the most up to date information. If you are unable to log in to the portal to retrieve transportation information, please contact your child's school.

Welcome back! Please take the time to read this carefully. Your understanding of and participation in Onteora’s School Lunch Program is very important to us.
