PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
STEPHEN A. PARKER II
I am pleased to welcome you back to the 2024-2025 school year! We are dedicated to maintaining the academic and behavioral standards. We will continue to provide your children with an outstanding education. I want to extend a special welcome to all new families joining Bennett this year and welcome back all of our returning families! I am honored to be your principal. We are confident that Bennett Elementary will continue to be a school of high academics, high expectations, high energy, and serious fun. Our goal at Bennett is to work together to provide our students with a rich learning environment. My vision, as the principal, is ALWAYS to put kids first! I believe that all students can learn. I hope that all children will LOVE school and nurture a learning environment that is positive, safe, warm, caring, as well as a fun place to learn and grow.
