BESD#53 Families and Community, There will be a regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Education on Tuesday, April 27th at 7:00 PM. You will notice that we have made some changes with our virtual meeting setup. To watch the Board Meeting, there is now a button on the www.besd53.org homepage labeled "Board Meeting Live Feed." This will connect you to watch the Board Meeting via YouTube. This is a view only stream. If you'd like to address the Board, we are asking you to come to the Board Meeting at the District Office (281 W. John Casey Rd.). We ask that you be present at the beginning of the meeting for the public comment portion of the agenda. At that time, you would then present your short statement and leave the meeting directly afterward as we are still restricted with the number of individuals allowed in the room. You may then watch the remainder of the meeting on the live stream. We look forward to the day when we can be back to a normal board meeting setup, but we are encouraged to be moving forward to this step for public comments. Thank you!
Alan Shepard loves our amazing lunch ladies! Thank you for “sticking together” and serving our students with smiles everyday!

Yeah...RECESS! A few classes were able to enjoy recess at Shepard today when it wasn’t raining. Hopefully everyone can go out tomorrow. Today was a GREAT full day of school!
It’s that time of year again! Illinois requires schools to have parents fill out a survey. We will only get the results if at least 20% of our parents participate. Please take a few minutes to let us know how Shepard School is doing. You must fill out a survey for each school your children attend. Thank You!
