Hello BUGC Parents,
We have learned that there are complications with Zoom. This issue is not one that our IT Department can fix rather it needs to be fixed by Zoom. Please bear with us as we communicate with the company. In the mean time your child will be emailed an alternative assignment.

Have a great day!
Mr. Swilley
Principal
Good Morning Everyone:I wanted to communicate with everyone about the recent decisions handed down about elementary sport. Today the IESA issued the following decision:
"(We) unanimously approved to cancel the regular season and IESA state series in the sports of boys and girls golf, boys baseball, girls softball, and boys and girls cross-country for the 2020-21 school year. There are no plans to try and re-schedule the activities or conduct them later in the school year in part due to if and when high schools in Illinois play their contests. Girls softball practice was scheduled to start July 27. The baseball and cross-country seasons were scheduled to start August 3. The Board delayed any decision on girls basketball. The first day of girls basketball practice is scheduled for August 31. The Board will meet again in late August to make a decision regarding girls basketball."
The Upper Grade Center is truly sorry that students and coaches have to miss out on these athletic experiences. We will continue to follow IESA and keep you posted on future IESA announcements. Thank you for your patience and support!
Mr. Swilley & Mrs. Longtin
