Welcome to the Homepage of Banner Elementary School. The faculty and I are very proud of our school, and believe that Banner provides excellent opportunities for growth and development. Students and parents will find caring, dedicated teachers who conscientiously strive to provide challenging educational opportunities. The faculty is committed to the following mission statement:
Banner Elementary will support the mission statement of the Dunlap Community Unit School District #323 by preparing students for the life transitions that will be encountered. All students will be provided opportunities and appropriate guidance to develop skills:
*
To access and process information
*
To cope with change
*
To think, reason, and solve problems
*
To foster creativity
*
To generate positive human relationships
By creating an atmosphere of community within the school, all students will be able to realize their potential with compassion for others.
Our web page is an effort to keep our current families, and prospective families, knowledgeable about the many events that involve BES students and their families throughout the school year. I hope that you will find the page informative and valuable, and that you will visit this site often.
