REGISTER YOUR CHILD

Families in need of assistance should attend 'last chance' in-person registration event on Thursday

Dozens of parents dropped by their schools before dismissal Wednesday afternoon and after drop-off Thursday morning, and registered their children for the 2023-2024 school year. 

If you missed these opportunities to receive in-person registration assistance, don't worry!

We're doing it again!

All three BSD2 schools will hold "last chance" in-person registration events from 4-6 p.m. Thursday, April 20. 

Online registration for students returning to Bensenville School District 2 for the 2023-2024 school year began Wednesday, April 5, and will conclude Friday, April 21.

Registration is being conducted through the District's new PowerSchool student information system, and it will require parents to create PowerSchool Parent Portal accounts.

Earlier this month, letters containing specific login credentials required to create Parent Portal accounts and complete each student’s registration were mailed to middle school students’ home addresses, and sent home in elementary students’ backpacks. This information was also shared with parents in December. If you have already used that information to create a Parent Portal account, you are already set up to complete your student’s registration.

If you have not received this information, please contact your child’s school.

NEED HELP?

Resources to help parents login to PowerSchool, create Parent Portal accounts, and complete the registration process can be found at www.bsd2.org/register.

Additionally, in-person registration assistance is available by contacting your child’s school during school hours, and by appointment at the Bensenville Community Center. (Call 630-766-2602 ext. 4655.)

MOVING?

If your child will not be returning to Bensenville School District 2 next year, please complete the moving form by Friday, April 21. We will then prepare your child’s transfer paperwork and send it home in the last week of school.

PARENT EDUCATION SERIES

Final presentation will help parents teach their children the importance of setting limits in their lives

Bensenville School District 2 and Fenton High School's Padres Unidos are partnering this year to present a yearlong parent education series facilitated by Chicago-area psychologist Dr. Ferney Ramirez (Spanish) and YWCA clinical therapist Theresa Taylor (English). 

The eighth and final offering in the series will be held from 6:30-8 p.m. Thursday, May 4, at Fenton High School, located at 1000 W. Green Street in Bensenville.

The presentation is titled “Son, Daughter, I Love You, But With Limits.” It will help parents teach their children the importance of setting limits in their lives. How setting firm boundaries can help them keep their lives in order and provide for their personal security by avoiding negative situations and navigating toxic relationships.

The presentation will be offered in English and Spanish.



Childcare and food will be provided.

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.
