Congratulations, Ms. Flexter, on being named the Orthopaedic Center of Southern Illinois M.V.T. of the week! Appreciate Darren Kinnard coming out to spotlight one of BUSD’s outstanding teachers.
Conditions have improved significantly today, so we will be in session tomorrow. Additionally, we were scheduled to have an 11:30 dismissal tomorrow. With the last couple of weeks we have had, we feel kids and parents would be better served with a full day of school. So, we will be in attendance tomorrow from 8:10 - 3:10. February 26, will be the last day of the second term and will be an 11:30 dismissal.
