meaningful opportunities for student engagement, we ensure that every learner is prepared for success in college, career, and life.

Important Announcement

We understand that many families have students in both the River Islands Academies K-8 schools, and also in the Banta Unified High School.  Due to unforeseen circumstances, the high school starts earlier than the K-8 schools in this upcoming year and that Spring Break does not occur at the same time.   For the next school year (2027-2028), Banta Unified and River Islands Academies will endeavor to start the school year at the same time and will try to coincide all breaks. Banta and RIA cannot promise that all dates will match between the High School and the K-8s, but they are aware of the difficulties and will try to address the issue.

Facilities Rental

Banta Unified School District is pleased to announce a new online facility request and rental system designed to provide a positive user experience for all. With the new system, reservation requests can be submitted easily and will be handled more efficiently. Renters will be able to access photos and descriptions, see real-time availability, get estimated quotes and pay online.

In partnering with Facilitron, Banta Unified School District has launched custom facility use sites for the district and each school – allowing facility use requests to be submitted at any time. You can view and request all district facilities at: https://www.facilitron.com/busd95304.  Although the process of requesting/approval/management of facility use is now digital, what’s implemented on Facilitron, remains the same as dictated by Banta Unified School District’s board policies on facility use. The district’s administrative staff makes final decisions on all facility use requests.  

Facilitron will assist with the set-up of organization and user accounts along with verification of non-profit status (if applicable). Facilitron will also collect payment and proof of insurance (certificate of insurance) on Banta Unified School District’s behalf.  Payments can be submitted conveniently on Facilitron. Payment options include major credit cards, checks, ACH/eCheck, and Paypal.

The new Facilitron system is now live for all sites. Moving forward, the only way to request use of a district facility is by creating a Facilitron account and submitting a request online. Please click HERE for an introduction to placing a request. For those who had reservations with Banta Unified School District prior to Facilitron, accounts have already been created on your behalf, and an automated email has been sent to you to create a password to access your renter account. If you need any assistance setting up an account and/or in submitting a facility use request, you can contact Facilitron directly at: support@facilitron.com, or by calling them at: 800-272-2962.
