Chippewa Elementary School

Bus 3 had a mechanical issue en route. They are sending a 2nd bus to do the route. Expect that it will run late.

Chippewa Families, We very much appreciate everyone's understanding and support this morning when we had to close Chippewa due to a water main break in the neighborhood. Mr. Jasinski, from Palos Heights Public Works, called to confirm that we can reopen the building tomorrow. He also apologized for the inconvenience. As a courtesy, until the full main can be replaced, Mr. Jasinski is installing emergency valves that are intended to prevent a school closure should there be another break between now and the end of the school year. We are grateful for the village's partnership in resolving this issue as quickly as possible. We look forward to welcoming our Cheetahs back tomorrow! l

Just a friendly reminder that there is NO SCHOOL tomorrow (November 8) in observance of Election Day. We will see all students back in school on Wednesday.

Due to an early dismissal at Shepard High School, our buses may run up to 10 minutes late. We share drivers with the high school, which creates a challenge on an early dismissal day at Shepard. Thank you for your understanding.

Hello District 128 families. Out of an abundance of caution and in consultation with the surrounding school districts, including Shepard High School, District 128 has decided to close all schools and offices tomorrow, Wednesday, February 2, 2022. Since the snow is projected to fall all day tomorrow, it is difficult to determine dismissal road conditions. Therefore, in the spirit of keeping all students and staff safe, District 128 will utilize an Emergency Snow Day and all classes, after school activities and meetings are canceled. We will add Friday, June 3, 2022 as an attendance day at the end of the school year. We anticipate our school buildings and offices to reopen Thursday, February 3. Please check your email for more information from Dr. Brownlow, Superintendent of Schools.
