School Calendar Revised Due to Emergency Closures

Dangerous weather conditions forced District 153 to close our schools and use three emergency days in January. We are required to make up these days. Therefore we, again, have revised the 2013-14 school calendar for students as follows:

Monday, March 3rd (Casimir Pulaski Day Holiday): Schools open for a regular school day.
Thursday, June 5th: Schools open for a regular school day.
Friday, June 6th: The last day of school, an early dismiss day.

We hoped to minimize inconveniences on two fronts with these calendar revisions. First, we hoped to disrupt summer plans as little as possible and not require students to return to school after the first weekend of June. Second, the revised calendar will allow 8th-grade graduation to proceed as scheduled on Monday, June 2nd.

Hopefully, we will not have to revise the calendar again, but there is still plenty of winter left to endure. If we need to use another emergency day during the next couple of months, the April 17th staff institute day will become a regular student attendance day.

District 153 thanks all its families and staff for their understanding and cooperation during this difficult winter.
