Welcome Bobcats!
 
To all our new families, welcome! Truman Benedict fosters a family-oriented atmosphere focused on community, student engagement, high academic achievement, STEAM, and positive behaviors.
 
Our staff operates like a family, passionate about learning, collaboration, and innovation, all centered on student success. Teachers and support staff use data-driven instruction to create meaningful, rigorous, and differentiated lessons that engage all learners. Hands-on, collaborative activities are frequently used to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Beyond academics, we focus on character building through PBIS, Character Counts, and genuine care, supporting bobcats as they grow from toddlers to tweens. Respect, perseverance, and kindness are not only recognized but celebrated. At Truman Benedict, we aim to create a safe, supportive environment where every student can thrive.
 
Continuous support from the community, volunteers, our amazing PTA, and FREF (Forster Ranch Education Foundation) is invaluable. Their dedication allows students to enjoy enrichment programs, build friendships, and showcase their talents.
Together, our students, staff, and community make Truman Benedict a truly unique elementary school!
 
 
Go Bobcats,
