Winter Weather School Closing Procedures
The decision to cancel school is made by the District Superintendent and is usually due to severe or extreme wind chills, snow accumulation or unsafe road conditions. The goal is to notify families of school cancellations as early as possible, usually by 6 a.m. Parents can expect to be contacted by the District via an automated phone and email system (as long as current parent contact information has been provided to the school).
Parents can also obtain school closing information on the District website, the WGN Emergency Closing Center (http://www.emergencyclosings.com/), and local radio or T.V. news channels.
The District has built one emergency day into the 2011-2012 calendar on Monday, April 2. If no emergency days are used prior to March 23, then there will be no school on that date. However, if an emergency day is needed prior to March 23, then school will be in session on April 2. This calendar minimizes the need to add emergency days to the end of the school year in June.
