In light of the remaining ice and black ice on roadways, sidewalks and parking lots, District 186 will have an e-learning day Tuesday, January 23, 2024. Ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff is our utmost priority, and we thank you for your understanding as we collectively navigate through these weather challenges. We will be in school on January 24, 2024.
Students are expected to login for instruction. Attendance will be taken and recorded as follows:
Elementary School: Attendance will be taken during their scheduled Google Meet session with their teacher | Students should log in to Canvas and join the Google Meet session during the time provided by their teacher.
Elementary School message for those classrooms that did not send home devices: Families will receive a direct message today because a few classrooms did not send home devices on Friday because of MAP testing and other individual classroom needs. Each classroom or school that is affected will send a direct communication by the principal or classroom teacher. Please make sure to read these communications.

District staff, families and students, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your resilience and patience in navigating e-learning. Special kudos to our students for consistently logging in, following directions for attendance, and diligently completing assignments.
Many of you have already turned your sights to tomorrow. We know that clear weather advice can be elusive and unpredictable. At this time, we plan to be in session. However, please make sure to have a plan in place for both in-school and e-learning.
If, for any reason, an extra day is needed, we will make the call by 6 a.m. tomorrow based on updates from First Student Bus Service. As of now, the forecast predicts temperatures above freezing, with a gradual warm-up throughout the day. Your understanding during these weather-related decisions is truly valued.
Thanks for your continued patience as we navigate through the winter weather updates and make the best decisions for everyone involved.
