We are three weeks into the school year and issues around COVID have been very minimal. We have had a total of six positive cases, all from contact outside of the school. The most important part of this though is that we have had ZERO close contact exclusions as a result of that because of the mitigation measures in place. Also, we have our testing in place which has helped keep kids in school as well. Make it a great holiday weekend!
Our Trojan ohana came out to support the girls’ volleyball team. JV and Varsity both played great games winning in two.

Reminder: School dismisses at 11:30 tomorrow (Friday, September 3) and there is no school on Monday, September 6, in observance of Labor Day. Make it a great weekend!
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
It is that time of year again! When you are out and about and see these bottle caps and drink Dr. Pepper products and/or Crush, save the caps! Top prize this year is $5,000! Parents send the caps to school with your child please. If you are not a BUSD parent you can contact Ms. Baine at the school to make arrangements for the caps to be picked up. Contest ends on Monday, January 31, 2022. Thank you for your support!!
