As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to take this opportunity to remind you that our teachers are AWESOME!

Before completing their careers at their respective schools, these students were selected by their principals from among their grade-level peers to attend the DuPage Chapter of the Illinois Principals Association Student Recognition Breakfast.

Maria Cristina Reyes and Milton Mercado Jr. were elected to the Bensenville School District 2 Board of Education in the April 1 Consolidated Election, and will serve four-year terms alongside re-elected incumbent Bob Laudadio.

Under the District’s new “first-day exclusion” policy, students whose health exam and immunization records are NOT up-to-date and on file at their schools will NOT be allowed to start the new school year on August 20.

Blackhawk Middle School will hold its eighth-grade promotion ceremony on Tuesday, June 3, in the field house at Fenton High School, 1000 W. Green Street, Bensenville. Families of students participating in the promotion ceremony receive a total of six tickets. Students should arrive at 6:30 p.m. The ceremony starts at 7 p.m.

The Illinois Association of School Boards recognized Bob Laudadio, President of the BSD2 Board of Education, with its “Established Board Leader” designation, and Dr. Katie McCluskey, BSD2 Superintendent of Schools, recognized Terina Siekierski for her dedicated service to District 2 at the annual DuPage IASA Annual Recognition and Awards Breakfast.

What perfect examples of "Learning & Growing Together!"

The BSD2 Board of Education approved the appointment of Tania Gomez to be the District’s next Community Relations Coordinator during its April 9 meeting. Ms. Gomez has five years of experience working in local government, specializing in strategic communications, marketing, and community outreach. 

Right at School, which operates the after-school programming for our elementary schools, will also offer a parent-paid child care option throughout the summer. The option will be housed at Tioga School and run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
