Emergency School Closing

snowy day with school closed today sign on fence

  • Illinois School Code (105 ILCS 5/10-20.56) allows for the use of e-learning days in lieu of emergency days.

     

    In Woodridge 68, e-learning days are utilized in lieu of traditional "snow days."

     

    This means no more tacking on days at the end of the school year!

     

    Please see the E-Learning page for more details.

  • During the school year, our schools face the possibility of being closed due to an emergency, heating failure, or severe storm. The decision about whether to close school buildings in inclement weather is based on the availability of buses, school building conditions, current temperature (actual & wind chill), road conditions, weather predictions, storm severity, and associated winds. This is done in consultation with the superintendents from Community High School District 99 and other surrounding feeder districts. Information will be communicated as soon as an open/close decision has been made.

     

    Don't miss this important communication! Make sure your contact information is up to date in Skyward Family Access.
