In the event of an emergency or weather-related school closing, District 90 will contact families of all students via contact info provided through PowerSchool.
For weather-related closings, families can also check the Emergency Closing Center for River Forest District 90.
If school is closed due to weather-related events, District 90 will implement the E-Learning Plan, which outlines an alternative method of delivering instruction for students in case physical attendance at school is not possible. Please review the plan to understand the schedule and approach for your child’s grade level.
