The responsibility for school closings has been delegated to the superintendent by the Board of Education. If a school day is to be cancelled because of weather conditions or other emergencies, the stations listed below will be notified by 6:30 a.m. whenever possible.

Although it will most likely never happen due to the age of our students, the stations will be notified as soon as possible if school is to be dismissed early in the day, and they will be asked to repeat the announcement several times. Such an announcement means that the closing involves all District 108 schools. An individual building will not be named unless the emergency affects only that particular school. While the schools have a responsibility toward your children, you also have a responsibility toward them. If you feel it is too cold or hazardous for your child to walk to school, you have a responsibility to provide transportation for him. If that is not possible, you must decide whether or not to keep your child home. If you are concerned about the weather conditions that develop after classes begin, you are welcome to pick up your child at school even though the school remains open.
