No School on Monday, September 7th due to Labor Day! Have a safe weekend!
Dear Parents,
We have recently received guidance from the Illinois State Board of Education Nutrition Department informing us that all enrolled students will be eligible for free meals until December 31, 2020. The free meals begin September 1, 2020. (If your child was previously charged, those charges will be reversed for meals served on September 1st and 2nd.)
Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade, who are attending in person, will be asked for daily meal counts at their building. Families that have chosen Remote Learning will continue to receive emails that contain a food order form. The High School Thunder and Lightning families will also continue to receive emails that contain their food order form.
We appreciate your flexibility as we work through these continuing changes. Go Storm!

Due to the change to remote learning to start the school year, there will be NO early dismissal (or School Improvement Day) on August 27th as originally scheduled.
Last night, the Board of Education voted that all Bureau Valley learners will begin the year with Remote Learning starting August 20th through September 1st. Bureau Valley would like to offer Grab ‘N Go meals for students! All families will be required to complete an online order form. Please check your email for more information!

Important Return to Learn FAQ and Parent Selection Survey has been emailed to all Storm Families.
In conjunction with the board-approved Return to Learn Plan and fall registration, the administrative team had hoped to send out a form today to give parents the opportunity to choose between the in-person learning plan or full-time remote learning plan. However, the Illinois State Board of Education released a 103-page update of school recommendations yesterday, which will need to be closely reviewed and considered. Therefore, we have decided to send out the "Parent Selection" form next week along with an FAQ to assist families with their selections and respond to concerns shared in the community survey emailed earlier this week. To correspond with this delay, we will extend the deadline to opt into full remote learning beyond the original July 31st deadline to August 5th.
Reminder: If you wish to register in person, please contact your student’s building office to make an appointment! When you arrive for your appointment, a mask is required.
Online Registration is still open! Call your student's building today to make your appointment for in-person registration which is July 27th - July 31st in each school building!
