We have an immediate need for a high school math teacher.
Reminder: Hall Of Fame nominations are being accepted up to September 17, 2021. You can pick up form in GS office or athletic directors office. You can receive one by email from rhamerski@blufordschools.org. The Class of 2021 will be discussed in October and notified in November. Ceremony tentatively set for January 8, 2022.
There are a lot of questions around the Pandemic EBT cards that people have been receiving. First, these are legitimate and because we have the Community Eligibility Provision, all our students should be receiving one at some point. They appear to be arriving for families randomly. Keep in mind that this is a federal program being administered by the state and it is overwhelmed by the program. The link below takes you to an FAQ with further information. There is an 800 number to call if you have individual questions about the program. https://www.dhs.state.il.us/page.aspx?item=137078
