Last Thursday, the B53 Jazz Band went to Prairie State College in Chicago Heights to participate in their annual Jazz Festival. The band performed for a panel of professional jazz musicians who gave them feedback afterwards. The guest artists taught the kids how to properly listen, how to project their sound, and how important it is to have fun when they play. The students learned a lot and had fun, too!

We wanted to make you aware that Bourbonnais Upper Grade Center experienced an electrical event this morning, resulting in a complete loss of power. The utility provider has indicated that repairs could take approximately four hours from now.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of power and the time required for repairs, we will need to cancel school today, THURSDAY, February 13 for Bourbonnais Upper Grade Center.
We understand this is an inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we prioritize safety and a proper learning environment.
Thank you for your flexibility, and we will keep you updated if there are any additional developments.
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.

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
