Good evening. Governor Pritzker announced today, that all K-12 schools would be closed March 17th thru March 30th. As of now, students are scheduled to return to school on March 31st. All extracurricular activities will be suspended during this time. On Monday March 16th, students will report to school at 10 am. We will have a late start day. Pre-K students will not attend morning session. This will allow teachers to make final preparations for at-home alternative instruction during the school closure. We will be posting our off-campus learning plan on Facebook and the district website on Monday. We will be sharing more information as it becomes available.
