Emergency School Closings / e-Learning Days

The safety of students and staff is the first priority in District 113. For safety reasons, severe weather or other emergency may lead to the decision to close school or alter the day's schedule through a delayed start, early release or e-Learning day. Using the best information available at the time when the decision needs to be made, the Superintendent determines whether to close school or alter the day's schedule.

• Email address on file in Infinite Campus (parents/guardians), District 113 email address (students and staff)
