'IT'S GOING TO BE A GOOD YEAR!'
What a beautiful day for the first day of school!
Students' smiles were as bright as the morning sun for the first day of classes at W.A. Johnson School!
Mr. Williams welcomed students as they arrived in their buses, and Mr. Patiño--a new kid, himself--helped some of the school's newest students find their classrooms. (Watch those videos by clicking the images to the right!)
Keep on smiling, everyone, and have a great school year!

OH, THE PLACES THEY'LL GO!
Where will the new school year take Tioga's students and teachers?
It was a great first day for students at Tioga School. For several teachers, it was also the first day in their careers as educators or as members of Tioga's staff.
Welcome one and all!
We look forward to seeing where this brand new school year will take everyone, students and teachers, alike!
District 2's new Early Childhood Center opens its doors.
Monday was the first day of classes for students in the District's Pre-K program.
It was also the first day of classes in the District's new Early Childhood Center at Tioga School.
One BSD2 Pre-K class is meeting in the new wing while the Head Start program that will fill the rest of the area awaits approval of additional licensing requirements needed for classrooms serving students younger than 4 years old.
Jimmy Casas, a senior fellow for the International Center for Leadership in Education, addressed BSD2 staff as the keynote speaker for the District's Institute Day today.
Mr. Casas' remarks encouraged teachers to move beyond the status quo and cultivate a culture of excellence.
Mr. Casas served 22 years as an education leader, including 14 years as principal at Bettendorf High School in Iowa. Under his leadership, Bettendorf was named one of the best high schools in the country three times by Newsweek and U.S. News & World Report. He was named the 2012 Iowa Secondary School Principal of the Year and was selected as one of three finalists for the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) 2013 National Principal of the Year.
