Landon Smith and 464 fellow Bourbonnais Upper Grade Center Students enjoyed extra recess during the advisory periods on Thursday, February 5th and Friday, February 6th. Those students moved with a purpose in getting to class on time and avoided excessive tardies to class. At BUGC we challenge our students to be great in order to become successful in school and in life.

At BUGC Khieaunte Jackson achieved 95% attendance during December. He and 258, 7th and 8th graders enjoyed extra recess on Tuesday, January 13th and Wednesday, January 14th, respectively. Those students were also in attendance for 95% of the school days in December.

Please allow junior high students with special needs, in our area, an opportunity to experience sporting and gaming activities engineered specifically for them. We are looking for sponsors to make this another successful event. Without our sponsors, this event would not have been possible.

Good Afternoon 8th Grade Families!

We are mailing out letters for the 2026, 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony. Promotion is scheduled for Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 7PM located at Olivet Nazarene University.

The letter contains essential information about Gown and Tassel costs (please note that caps are not part of the ceremony), as well as how you want your child's name displayed on the Promotion Certificate and program.

Also, due to lack of interest over the last few years, BUGC will not be hosting formal Promotion Pictures this year.

If you do not get your letter in the mail by next Friday, December 12th, please reach out to our office at 815.929.5200 and we will make sure you get the information you need.

We are excited to share this special milestone with you. Thank you for all that you do!


Buenas tardes, familias de 8.º grado:
Hoy estamos enviando por correo las cartas relacionadas con la Ceremonia de Promoción de la Clase de 2026. La promoción está programada para el miércoles 27 de mayo de 2026 a las 7:00 p.m. y se llevará a cabo en Olivet Nazarene University.

La carta incluye información importante sobre los costos de la toga y el borlote (tenga en cuenta que no se utilizan birretes en la ceremonia), así como instrucciones sobre cómo desea que aparezca el nombre de su hijo/a en el Certificado de Promoción y en el programa.

Además, debido a la poca participación en los últimos años, BUGC no ofrecerá fotografías formales de promoción este año.

Si no recibe su carta por correo antes del próximo viernes 12 de diciembre, comuníquese con nuestra oficina al 815-929-5200 y nos aseguraremos de que reciba la información necesaria.

Estamos emocionados de compartir este momento tan especial con ustedes. ¡Gracias por todo lo que hacen!
