- Closings are broadcast on most local TV and radio stations.
Winter Closing Guidelines: District 63 relies on a number of factors when deciding to close schools and works cooperatively with several area school districts.
Phone/Email/Text Notification
District 63's parent notification system, ParentSquare, enables D63 to text, call, and email families and staff very quickly. The system utilizes the email addresses and phone numbers parents and staff have provided to the school and the District as their official contact information. Please make sure you have provided your school office with accurate information so you can be reached. This is the primary means of communication in an emergency.
