Our Middle School had an amazing turn out! A huge "THANK YOU!" to all of the food vendors that filled the front of our school last night. Another huge "THANK YOU" to all of our staff who helped put this together and families that came out to represent! We can't wait for the 1st day of school on Monday, August 31st! These halls sure miss the laughter and chaos!

The first day of school is almost here! We are excited to welcome our students, families, staff, and community back for another great year at Benzie County Central Schools.

Monday, August 31, 2026, marks the first day of school! 📚✏️

Continue to follow our district facebook, school calendar, and news updates. New updates and alerts can be located on our website, www.benzieschools.net

A new school year brings new opportunities to learn, grow, make memories, and build connections. To our students—we can't wait to see your smiling faces in our hallways and classrooms!

To our families and community—thank you for your continued support of our students and schools. Together, we make Benzie Central a special place to learn and grow. Last evening's BA/MS/HS open house was a testimony to that.

Back to School means Back to Breakfast & Lunch...

An Education Benefits Form is very important to school food service in Michigan, even though Michigan provides school meals at no cost to students. The key point is that the form is no longer just about whether a child pays for lunch—it helps establish eligibility data that affects funding and programs across the district.

The Education Benefits Form helps Food Service accurately document student eligibility, supports proper meal-program administration, and provides the district with data that can help secure additional funding for educational programs and services.

For Benzie County Central Schools, this is especially important to communicate to families as: “Even though school meals are free, completing the Education Benefits Form helps make sure our district receives every dollar of funding our students are eligible to receive.”

Please fill out this form and return it to Food Service Director, Lisa Purchase.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. Hard copies will be made available at your child(rens) school -

As the 2026/27 school year fast approaches, please remember our buses will be back on the roads...

🚌 SCHOOL BUS SAFETY

🛑 STOP FOR RED

When a school bus has flashing red lights and the stop arm is extended, STOP!

🔴 Stop at least 20 feet from the bus.
👀 Watch carefully for students crossing the road.
🚫 Never pass a stopped school bus.
❤️ Give our students the time and space they need to get home safely.

Yellow lights = Prepare to Stop
Red lights = STOP

Let’s keep our Benzie Central Huskies safe!



We welcome another safe and successful school year,
