School Closing Information

If there is inclement weather, there are certain procedures that should be followed should it be necessary to close the schools. All decisions regarding "school closing" announcements or early dismissals will be given to the following radio and television stations:

  • WSPY (Plano) 107.1 FM
  • WERV (Aurora) 95.9 FM
  • WLBK (DeKalb) 1360 AM
  • WGN-AM (Chicago) 720 AM
  • TV Channels 2, 5, 7, 9 and Fox32

When the weather appears threatening, you are urged to tune in to one of the stations listed above. Parents may check the message on the schools' answering machines before or after school hours. Please do not call the schools or administration office during school hours. It is important that phone lines are kept open during these times. Please do not call the radio stations at any time.

Decisions as to whether buses will be running and if school will be in session on a given day will be communicated to the stations on or before 6:00 a.m. when possible.

Decisions regarding early dismissals due to inclement weather will be phoned in to radio stations as soon as the decision is made, allowing parents a minimum of one hour to make the necessary arrangements for the care of their children.

Students will not be released from school unless the principal/staff knows the child is going home to a safe and supervised environment.

Information from the townships and Kendall County Sheriff's office is used when making decisions related to closing schools. Decisions will be made based upon the safety of our students. Your understanding and cooperation regarding unpredictable weather situations will be greatly appreciated.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Administration Office at 552-8978.
