🎶 Composer Residency Opportunity – Benton Bands 🎶
We’re excited to welcome composer Adrian B. Sims to Benton! This special workshop is open to the public, and we invite our community to come watch our students learn directly from the composer himself.
Each band level is currently working on a piece written by Mr. Sims and will receive a live clinic from him. Think of it as the musical equivalent of students getting to study a book with the author sitting right there in the room. An incredible learning experience for our musicians!
📍 Benton High School – Auxiliary Gym
🗓 Saturday, February 7th
⏰ 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM
📍 449 Fairburn Avenue, Benton, LA 71006
Tentative Schedule:
🕣 8:30–9:20 AM – Benton High School Band
🕤 9:30–10:20 AM – Benton Middle School Advanced Band
🕥 10:30–11:20 AM – Benton Middle School Intermediate Band
🕦 11:30 AM–12:20 PM – Benton Intermediate School Beginning Band
We’re proud of our Benton musicians and grateful for opportunities like this that bring learning to life! 🎵💜

💻🐯 February Tiger Talks: Internet Safety 🐯💻
The internet gives our students incredible opportunities, but it also comes with real responsibilities. This month’s Tiger Talks focuses on helping students stay safe online through smart choices, strong boundaries, and open communication with trusted adults.
From social media and gaming to passwords and privacy, we’re reminding our Tigers that if something doesn’t feel right online, it’s always okay to stop, speak up, and ask for help.💜
Let’s work together to keep our students safe, informed, and confident both online and offline!

UPDATE: Thursday, January 29, 2026
Bossier Schools will remain CLOSED for students and teachers Friday, January 30 out of an abundance of caution due to continued safety concerns on our campuses as a result of the wintry weather.
We cannot risk your children’s return to school until the thick ice accumulation melts or can be removed from awnings, walkways, bus ramps and parking lots.
Our district leaders and 12-month employees will be working Friday to get our schools and centers ready for reopening Monday, February 2, and to de-ice and prepare for another round of frigid temperatures being forecast for the weekend. This is a work day at our schools and centers, and they will not be open for normal operations.
We know this week has been unusual and Bossier Schools greatly appreciates your understanding, support and working with us to make the best of the situation.
UPDATE: Wednesday, January 28, 2026
Out of an abundance of caution, all Bossier schools and district offices will remain CLOSED Thursday, January 29 as the district continues to assess the impact the recent winter storm is having on operations.
Though the ice is melting, considerable hazards remain on roadways, bus ramps, in car lines and on our school campuses, making it unsafe for our students and staff to return. In addition, the National Weather Service is forecasting freezing fog overnight and into Thursday morning, heightening the danger of traveling.
It is our hope to reopen Friday, January 30 after another day of above-freezing temperatures. We greatly appreciate your patience and understanding this week and will provide another update at 4 p.m. Thursday.
