Third Party Food Deliveries: The Board of Education supported the implementation of a new procedure for the 2023-2024 school year prohibiting student lunch deliveries by third-party vendors and outside providers in the interest of the safety of our schools. Parents can still drop off lunches from outside vendors; however, we will no longer permit outside vendor lunches to be delivered directly to students.

Due to the predicted snow and hazardous conditions, all schools in District 128 will have an early dismissal at 12:30 PM tomorrow, Friday, March 3. Afternoon Preschool classes and all after-school activities will be canceled for tomorrow, Friday, March 3. Our top priority is the safety of our students and staff, and we have been monitoring the weather closely.

Additionally, all bus transportation services will be provided for students on their scheduled routes, and students will have lunch before dismissal. We urge parents and guardians to make necessary arrangements for the early dismissal of their children. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your school's main office. We will continue to monitor the weather conditions and contact you if any changes occur. Please continue to have plans in place if there is a need to switch to an e-learning day. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
