Winter Is Coming . . . Take a Minute to Review D63's Emergency Closing Information
Posted by Janet Bishop on 11/14/2019
The snowflakes are already falling - and that means in the coming months there may be times when D63 schools are closed due to weather-related conditions. Before you receive that phone call early in the morning or late at night, take a minute to review how - and why - the District makes the decision to close its schools.A few important facts:
D63 doesn't make the decision to close schools alone! Instead, Districts 62, 63, 64, 79, and 207 make a joint decision. Notifications don't go out until agreement is reached.
Our first priority is safety. But we know that closings create child care and work challenges. So we consult with experts and take our time before making a final decision.
Stay informed! Once the decision is made, we post to this website, Facebook and Twitter. We send out phone calls, texts, and emails - and push the information out to the schools' digital signs as well. So like and follow us on social media - and make sure that your school has correct email and phone information for your family.
Learn more - and stay warm!
