Attention District 163 Families!
When decisions regarding weather-related emergencies are made, the school superintendents in surrounding districts collaborate. Based on that collaboration, there was a collective agreement that the best place for our students is within our schools. Therefore, we will remain open tomorrow during the day. All students (K-8) should return to school with their Chromebooks and chargers. Please be aware that all after-school activities and programs have been canceled for Friday, January 12, 2024. As always, we know that you also will monitor the weather and make a decision that is in your family's best interest.
