District 2 News Items

We understand that many families in our community are currently facing uncertainty and hardship due to disruptions to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). Please remember you are not alone. BSD2 and our community partners are ALL IN when it comes to supporting our families.  

Bensenville School District 2 will conduct free developmental screenings for children ages 3-5 on August 12, September 18, October 22, December 5, February 19, and May 29. These screenings are the first step in identifying children for our Preschool for All program and/or Head Start. Call the Tioga School office at 630-766-2602 ext. 4200 to schedule an appointment for your child’s screening.

Classes will begin on Wednesday, August 20, and the last day of school will be Tuesday, June 2, unless emergency days are needed. Other key dates are as follows ...

Please make certain the school has your correct phone numbers and email addresses on file. Also, please revisit who you have listed as emergency contacts.

District 2 now calls eLearning Days when closing schools due to extreme weather. An eLearning Day counts as a regular school day, and does not require the District to use a built-in emergency day at the end of the school year.

District 2 operates a free, year-round BSD2 Birth-to-3 Program to encourage warm, nurturing parent/child interactions that lay the foundation for school readiness, emotional competence, and positive mental health.

Don't forget - schools dismiss early each Tuesday!

With another successful school year nearly in the books, District 2 employees gathered May 22 at White Pines Golf Club to recognize colleagues who are retiring or celebrating milestone anniversaries with the District, teachers who recently earned tenure with the District, and staff who were honored with the District’s new “Those that Excel” Awards.

This year, more than 240 CARE volunteers provided more than 6,800 hours of academic support, in some way impacting the lives of almost every BSD2 student. That’s extraordinary!

If concern for kids motivates you, and if you're driven by a sense of civic pride, consider applying for one of our open positions, which include teachers, classroom aides, substitutes, bus drivers, lunch and recess supervisors, and crossing guards.
