July 15th, 2021 Dear Storm Students, Staff, and Families, With deep sadness, I inform you about a tragic accident that has resulted in a significant loss in our schools and our community. This morning, a Bureau Valley student died in a car accident. Our district is committed to doing everything we can to help our students with the grieving and healing process. To that end, we have activated our crisis counseling team to be at our school today, July 15th, from 4:00 PM - 8:00 PM, and tomorrow, Friday, July 16th, from 8:00 AM-Noon. Students may visit a counselor in person or complete the form below for the counselor to follow up with them. This loss will affect everyone in our school family and the Bureau Valley Community. Students may have a difficult time dealing with the loss, and we encourage parents to talk with their child(ren) and for students to seek help if needed. At this time, the district will not be releasing the student’s name out of respect for the privacy of the family. I know you join me in extending our heartfelt condolences to all of the family involved. If you have any concerns or questions, please reach out to us or one of the counselors by contacting the school at 815-445-4004 or clicking on this form. Sincerely, Jason R. Stabler, Superintendent

Dear Parents, We have recently been notified that the USDA will be extending the program that provides free meals for all students into the 21-22 school year. These free meals will begin in August 2021 and will be available through May 2022. Even though your student will receive a free meal for the 21-22 school year, we encourage you to complete the Free/Reduced Lunch Application during registration this summer. The District uses this application to determine if your family qualifies for a fee waiver. The $100 per student registration fee will be waived completely for a family that qualifies for free meals. That fee is only $25 per student for a family that qualifies for reduced meals. This application document will be available during registration.

March 15, 2021 Good evening Bureau Valley Families and Staff, Tonight, our Board of Education took action to determine the method of instruction for our high school students to finish the 2020-2021 School year. They voted to approve all Bureau Valley High School Learners returning to Five Day In-Person Instruction with a Remote Option beginning April 6th, 2021 (Continuing 1:00 PM Dismissal). Mr. Price will contact you to review the new procedures and survey you regarding your learning model choice for April 6th through the rest of the year. I am incredibly proud of how hard our staff has worked this year to provide our students educational opportunities, whether they are in the classroom or attending virtually. Students, we are proud of you and look forward to welcoming you back into the building every day! This year has not been easy for anyone; however, the resilience everyone has demonstrated through great adversity assures me we will continue to overcome challenges in our path! I also urge you to continue to do your part (social distancing, mask up, wash your hands) to stop the spread of COVID-19 so that we can stay in school! As always, thank you for your continued support of Bureau Valley and all of its students, staff, administration, and Board of Education. Go Storm Always, Jason R. Stabler, Superintendent
