As we prepare for another great school year, the staff of Halstead-Bentley USD #440 came together today for a day of professional learning, collaboration, and planning.
Professional development is more than training—it's an investment in our students and our community. We are grateful for the dedication of our incredible staff who continue to learn, grow, and innovate for the benefit of every Dragon.
Here's to a fantastic school year filled with learning, growth, and success. We can't wait to welcome our students back soon!
We didn't have a "Best T-shirt contest" but it we did, Susan Jacobs would be our winner!
