Winter is here - and that means there may be times when District 63 schools close due to weather-related conditions or other emergency situations.
Deciding Whether or not to Close Buildings
When weather conditions might result in a closure, D63 works with other area districts to make a final decision. Student and staff safety is always our first priority, and superintendents also consider other factors in choosing whether to keep buildings open.
Notifying Families
If area districts - including D63 - do decide to close buildings, the information is sent out in multiple ways, including:
- The District's Parent Square system: expect an email, phone call, and text.
- This website: look for a pop-up announcement on the home page.
- Our social media pages: Facebook and Instagram.
- WGN's Emergency Closings website.
The email our families receive will also include detailed information about how to access remote learning for the day.
More Information
Please note that remote learning has been discontinued. Should there be multiple school closings, additional instruction days will be added onto the end of the school year.
