Education

Dear Educator:

The employees at the Boys and Girls Club of Benton County and you have a common purpose – to help our children become successful in school. We would like to work with you to that end. As a professional educator, you know the needs and academic goals of our kids better than we do. If you have a student who needs support, we would like to hear from you so that we may make every attempt to provide it. If they need help in a given subject or area, we have a homework help program that can provide it. Tutors can also be recruited for more intensive one-on-one assistance.

If you need a release of information to be able to provide us with any information, we would be pleased to provide you with one. As part of our membership application parents authorize their “child’s school and/or teacher to release their child’s school grade reports and information on general attendance and performance to the Boys & Girls Club of Benton County Inc. for aggregated use in program evaluation and for purposes of support of in-school education in the out-of-school programs. The Boys & Girls Club of Benton County will not re-release personal information provided by a school or teacher.”

If a child needs support and isn’t a member of the Boys and Girls Club of Benton County, a scholarship may be available to them. Let’s work together to make every child’s school experience a success!
