District 2 has an exciting opportunity to bring foreign language (Spanish) to our elementary schools during the school day. If we are able to make this a reality, it would provide the opportunity for all elementary students to learn how to speak, read, and write in Spanish!

Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on the many blessings in our lives, and I am filled with gratitude for the incredible sense of community that we have built as we learn and grow together in Bensenville School District 2.

Monday, November 18, is the end of the first trimester. On Monday, December 2, first-trimester report cards will be sent home with elementary students, and mailed to middle school students' homes.

The Illinois State Board of Education has released the 2024 Illinois Report Cards. Bensenville School District 2 is proud to celebrate that all three of our schools have earned a Commendable Designation. This designation is based on several indicators: academic achievement/growth, attendance rates, and the 5 Essentials Survey.

The budget authorizes about $46.4 million of revenue, and $57 million in expenditures, including $11 million for the renovation of Blackhawk Middle School. The renovation costs are being paid for with cash on hand from before the year began. Without the renovation costs, the budget has a modest surplus of about $600,000, or 1.3 percent of revenue. 

Bensenville School District 2 will conduct free developmental screenings for children ages 3-5 on Friday, December 6. 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.

Don't forget - schools dismiss early each Tuesday!

I look forward to making 2024-2025 another fabulous school year! We have so much to celebrate already! Remember, TOGETHER we can do anything! #BSD2gether
