REGISTER YOUR CHILD
Online registration for students returning for the 2022-2023 school year is open
|
|
Login information for the BSD2 online registration portal was sent to students' home addresses on Tuesday, April 12, along with detailed registration instructions.
The online registration portal can be found on the District 2 website, www.bsd2.org, along with resources to assist you and answer any questions you may have.
Students’ take-home Chromebooks can access the online registration portal wherever you find wireless Internet (Wi-Fi). If you don’t have access to a computer or the Internet, please contact your child's school to arrange to complete your registration over the phone.
NO REGISTRATION FEES
District 2 will not collect registration fees for the 2022-2023 school year.
The BSD2 Board of Education voted to eliminate the registration fees for the coming year to continue to provide financial relief for its families, many of whom have faced economic hardships throughout the pandemic.
Most districts charge registration fees, often $100 or more. For many years, District 2’s registration fees were $40 for elementary students and $44 for middle school students. (Middle school students will still be charged fees for agendas, lanyards, IDs, gym suits, and calculators.)
The District historically collects about $30,000 in registration fees. However, it also grants fee waivers to students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals, which amount to about 50 percent of the District's student population.
For the past seven years, the District has also provided classroom supplies for all students at an annual cost of about $80,000 to the District. It will continue to do so for the 2022-2023 school year.

PARENT LETTER
CogAT results and screening for gifted services
|
|
Dear BSD2 Families,
May is just around the corner and we will soon be wrapping up the school year! We are planning enrichment opportunities in 2022-23 that will encompass all students. Students within the District that qualify for “gifted programming” will continue to receive their accelerated instruction which aligns with their abilities. Additionally, we will further utilize the expertise of our gifted teachers to increase the rigor and challenge for all students who are ready for these opportunities.
If your child took the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT), these results will be used as one of the screening measures to determine the right instructional fit for the 2022-23 school year. As we further define our programming and qualification processes, we will communicate them out to our BSD2 families. Incoming third graders who are identified as qualifying for gifted services will be notified prior to August as the new criteria is applied. Those students going into fourth and fifth grade who have already been identified will continue to receive gifted services.
As always, our goal is to provide engaging, rigorous instruction that meets our students where they are and helps them to grow forward. This includes recognizing each students’ own unique strengths and tapping into those strengths to help each of our students succeed and enjoy their school experience.
Thank you,
Ms. Anne Paonessa
Interim Director of Teaching & Learning
