Weather Information Update
from Superintendent Paul Gordon
Dear Families,
It is possible that we will not be having school tomorrow January 25 due to the frigid temperatures expected. Once a decision is made, the district will send out the notification through email, robo call, our website and on social media.
In preparation for this possibility, I want to let you know that the Illinois School Code has changed to allow for learning from home when we are not able to be in the buildings. In order for the district to count tomorrow as an attendance day (rather than an emergency day), teachers will provide students with learning opportunities they can engage with while at home. Families will be hearing from their individual school offices or from teachers directly regarding the learning opportunities if there is a school closure tomorrow. This is not a full day of school work, simply an opportunity for learning. Please look for these communications from your schools. Students will be asked to report back on this learning when they return to school.
Making a possible school closure an “attendance day” through at-home learning is extremely helpful to the district as the school year calendar has already been adjusted due to the referendum construction taking place in our schools. Thank you for your patience and your support with the possible learning from home tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Dr. Paul Gordon
Superintendent
