November 15th is School Board Members Day in Illinois. We want to thank our school board for their voluntary service to the district! President Rob Rodewald, Vice Pres. John Hall, Secretary Jayne Raef, and members Rich McBarnes, Nicole McCarty, Mike Jurka, and Jamie Freedlund!
LATE BUSES! Due to an earlier auto accident on the Dan Ryan, bus #2, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 11 will be late returning from a field trip. We expect those buses to leave BUGC/Liberty at approximately 3:10pm and Shepard/Shabbona/LeVasseur at 4pm. Expect students on those buses to arrive home 20-30 minutes later than normal.
This is a reminder that tomorrow is a scheduled early dismissal day. We will be following the Schedule B dismissal times. Upper Grade and Liberty will dismiss at 1:15 p.m.. Shepard, Shabbona, and LeVasseur will dismiss at 2:00 p.m..
Thanks to the Bourbonnais Police and Fire Departments for supporting our English as a Second Language (ESL) First Responder Family Night. It was a great success.
