The Special Board Meeting that was scheduled for tonight, February 3rd at 7:00 pm, has been cancelled.
Dear BESD #53 Families,
Due to the inclement weather tomorrow, February 3rd, there will be a “Snow Day” for students so no school and enjoy the snow!
Due to the inclement weather, Bourbonnais Elementary School District #53 will be closed tomorrow February 3rd. We will be utilizing a Snow Day which will be made up at the end of the year.
Shepard families, if you need to get in touch with the Shepard office today, please email us at Shepard_Office@besd53.org. All students brought home packets yesterday. They must return completed packets on our next in-person attendance day to be counted present on 2/2/2022. If your child was absent on Tuesday and did not receive a packet, they will get it when we return and will be given 2 days to complete it to be counted present on 2/2/2022. Teachers will be available for questions today between 8:45 am and 1:00 pm, unless otherwise stated in the materials that went home. You may contact them by email or through the other communication app they may have previously set up. Stay safe!
Due to the inclement weather, Bourbonnais Elementary School District #53 will not be in normal attendance tomorrow February 2nd. Instead we will be utilizing an E-Learning/Learn from Anywhere day.
