The State of Illinois has declared the General Election Day a state holiday.  Therefore, the 2020-21 School Calendar has been revised as follows: 

• November 3, 2020 - No School - Election Day
• December 23, 2020 - Half Day Inservice

District 111 is pleased to announce the launch of our Student Help Desk for technology issues.  If your child has an issue with their device or a program like Classlink, Teams or Seesaw, please use the Student Help Desk Form.  The student, parent, caregiver, or teacher can submit the request using the form.  Staff members are on hand each morning to address issues and will respond in the order the requests are received.  

FREE CHILD MEALS 7 DAYS A WEEK THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2020. Free breakfast and lunch meals (with milk) will be provided to ALL CHILDREN 0-18 years of age in our area under a “Grab and Go” program at all Burbank School District 111 school buildings Monday through Friday during the times listed on the schedule below.  Meals for Saturday and Sunday will be distributed on Fridays.  This program covers ALL students from all District 111 schools as well as all parochial, private, and high schools in the area. There are no financial requirements to receive a meal; all children are eligible.  Meals should be requested for only the children living in your own household and are limited to one pick up per day.

Burbank School District 111 will have four school board seats to be filled at the April 6, 2021 Consolidated Election.  Candidates who are elected will fill four-year terms expiring in April 2025.

Due to COVID-19, the district has extended the deadline for student registration fees until after winter break. Payments can be submitted to the school office or online via E-pay.  Late fees will not be incurred until January 7, 2021. 

After gathering feedback from parents and teachers, the remote learning schedule has been altered slightly, allowing students to do work for electives and PE starting at 12:00 pm.  Please see the updated remote learning schedules attached.  We are already at the midterm period for the first quarter.  The transformation from in-person to remote learning has challenged us all to develop new skills and competencies.  We have revised the mid-terms to report on how well students have been adjusting to the remote learning environment, rather than reporting on actual grades at this time.

The local Girl Scouts are hosting a virtual Teddy Bear Party on October 6.  Click here for more information. 

The Illinois State Board of Education has not waived any requirements for student physical examinations and immunizations during remote learning.  All students must submit proof of physical exam and immunizations to their school by October 15, 2020.     

Weather permitting, the grounds of Burbank School District 111 will receive applications of fall fertilizer and weed control the week of September 14.  If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Joe Ficker, Director of Buildings and Grounds at jficker@bsd111.org.

The District carries medical insurance for students injured in accidents on school premises. The District has also approved a medical and dental accident insurance plan worthy of your consideration to add to coverage purchased. This coverage will extend the hours your child is covered and also may cover your child during certain activities not covered in the school purchased plan. We urge you to consider the benefits described in this brochure.
