Community Relations
District 2 strives to maintain a strong relationship with the community, including parents, staff and residents who do not have school-age children. Community Relations includes communications and programs to foster two-way communication and build understanding and support for the mission and vision of Bensenville School District 2.
New, Notifications & Social Media
District 2 offers a variety of communication tools to help families stay informed and get involved. The District’s website, www.bsd2.org, is a great resource for information about the District.

Parents will also receive newsletters and flyers from their school and the District via email and/or text message notifications from the District at the email addresses and/or cell phone numbers they provided at registration. They can opt out of these services at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any notification from the District. The District’s phone notification system will also use the phone numbers provided at registration to call your family with emergency messages.

BSD2 eFlyers
BSD2 eFlyers
District 2 has gone "green" in its approach to distributing community flyers.
Rather than sending flyers home with each student via backpack mail, District and community flyers are posted on the BSD2 E-Flyers page for parents to view or print 24/7.
It is estimated that this saves our schools hundreds of hours per year spent sorting and handling the materials, not to mention the number of trees and other resources saved in producing them.

The photos and videos may be published in school, District and community newsletters, posted on the District’s website or social media pages, shared with local newspapers, broadcast on cable television, displayed in school, and/or shown in classrooms or at school-sponsored events. The photos and videos are not used for commercial purposes, and students are not identified by name unless it is for special recognition. The District assumes it may take both photographs and videos of a student at school unless their parent/guardian requests in writing that their child not be photographed or identified. A form is available at the school office.
