BE ON THE LOOKOUT!

Important registration information is on its way!

Online registration for students returning to District 2 for the 2023-2024 school year will begin Wednesday, April 5.

On Tuesday, April 4 , parents will receive important information they will need to complete their students’ registration.

This information will include a letter listing the specific login credentials required to complete each student’s registration. It will also include instructions for creating a Parent Portal account and completing the registration process in the District’s new PowerSchool student information system.

This important registration information has been mailed to middle school students’ home addresses, and will be sent home in elementary students’ backpacks. If you do not receive this information, please contact your child’s school.

This is the first time that online registration will be conducted through the District's new PowerSchool student information system, and it will require parents to create Parent Portal accounts.

The Parent Portal opened in January, and letters providing login information for the system were sent to parents in early December. If you already used that information to create a Parent Portal account, you are already setup to complete your student’s registration.

In-person registration assistance will be available …

• At Blackhawk Middle School from 1:30-2:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, and 8-9 a.m. Thursday, April 13.
• At Tioga and W.A. Johnson Schools from 2-3 p.m. Wednesday, April 12, and 8:45-9:45 a.m. Thursday, April 13.
• By appointment at the Bensenville Community Center. (Call 630-766-2602 ext. 4655.)
• By contacting your child’s school during school hours.

Visit www.bsd2.org/powerschool for a variety of online resources that will help parents create Parent Portal accounts, complete the registration process, and use PowerSchool to access their students’ schedules, attendance, assignments, and grades.

FREE DEVELOPMENTAL SCREENING

Nobody knows your child better than you!

Bensenville School District 2 will conduct free developmental screenings for children ages 3-5 on Thursday and Friday, May 4 and 5. 

These screenings are the first step in identifying children for our Preschool for All program and/or Head Start.

Professionals will assess the development of your child’s gross and fine motor skills, pre-academic readiness, and speech, language, vision and hearing.

Call the Tioga School office at 630-766-2602 ext. 4200 to schedule an appointment for your child’s screening.

District 2 has gone "green" in its approach to distributing community flyers.

Rather than sending flyers home with each student via backpack mail, District and community flyers are posted on the BSD2 E-Flyers page for parents to view or print 24/7.

It is estimated that this saves our schools hundreds of hours per year spent sorting and handling the materials, not to mention the number of trees and other resources saved in producing them.
