EMERGENCY SCHOOL CLOSING INFORMATION

Inclement weather or other unanticipated emergencies may result in school being cancelled. The determination to close school will be based upon available information collected from local law enforcement agencies, weather forecast services, and neighboring school district administrators. If this happens, every effort will be made to finalize the decision by 6 A.M. If one or more of our schools closes, the District will communicate with parents and staff as soon as possible in the following ways:

Our Website
School closing and schedule change information will be posted on our district website www.winnetka36.org, and on each school’s home page.

By Telephone
Parents and staff who have shared their phone contact information will be contacted through our automated phone messaging system as soon as the decision to close is made. If a parent does not receive a school-closing call, it is because the phone number is not listed properly. Parents should contact the school secretary at their child’s school to on the next valid school day to update their contact information.

By Email
Parents and staff who have shared their email contact information will be also be contacted via an email alert.
