Dear Bourbonnais Elementary School District Families,
Due to the winter storm forecasted to impact our area, we will be implementing a Schedule A – Early Dismissal for tomorrow, Wednesday, February 12, 2025, to prioritize the safety of our students and staff. While we cannot predict the weather with certainty, the current forecast provides enough data to warrant precautionary measures, and we appreciate your cooperation and patience.
Schedule A - 3 Hour Release:
Liberty: 7:30 AM – 10:30 AM
BUGC: 8:05 AM – 11:10 AM
Shabbona: 8:10 AM – 11:10 AM
LeVasseur/Shepard: 8:45 AM – 11:45 AM
No AM or PM Pre-K
Community Services (Speech,OT/PT, etc.): Appointments in the afternoon will be rescheduled
We understand that this may be a disruption to family schedules, but we hope that providing this information early allows for necessary preparations to be made.
At this time, we anticipate that school will be in regular session on Thursday, February 13, 2025. As a reminder, we only send out communications if there is a change to the normal school schedule. Since we currently expect a regular school day on Thursday, no additional communication will be sent unless adjustments are necessary.
We will assess road conditions after the storm, and if any changes to the schedule are needed, we will notify families as soon as possible.
Please stay safe, use caution while traveling, and thank you for your understanding and support.
Sincerely,
Dr. Adam Ehrman

Please stay safe and use caution while traveling.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Last week Mrs. Studebaker’s Inquisitive students used Froot Loops to represent molecules and experimented with creating Homemade Lava Lamps! This was a fun way to conclude their science lesson on Properties and States of Matter. The students learned some really great vocabulary words in this unit including: solids, liquids, gasses, property, matter, hypothesis, molecules, translucent, transparent and opaque. The students all got to take home their very own lava lamps to show their parents all they’ve learned.
January Menu Update-
We will be following the lunch menu that was sent out, eliminating Tuesday's menu.
Breakfast will be different due to ordering. We will be serving:
Wednesday- Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal
Thursday - Lemon Chip Bar
Friday - Strawberry Yogurt Parfait

Mrs. Studebaker’s Second Grade Scientists planned and conducted an investigation to describe and classify different kinds of materials by their observable properties. They got to observe how states of matter can change by deciding whether Oobleck is a solid, a liquid or both?!
