As winter approaches, inclement weather can cause Intermediate District 287 to close school. 

District 287 will notify you of the decision to close school in the following ways: 

• Telephone, email, and text: We will call, email, and/or text you using an automated messaging system. Please be sure to submit or update your contact information through ParentVue or call your child’s school. 
• Online: Emergency closure information will be posted on the District 287 website and Facebook page. 
• Broadcast: Information will be submitted to media as “Intermediate District 287.” 

The primary criteria we consider when deciding to move to close school include: 

• The safety and well-being of students and staff
• The severity of the weather (extreme cold, flooding, etc.) 
• Timing of weather (overnight, weekend, etc.)

If you disagree with the district’s decision to hold school on a day you believe the weather is hazardous, you may keep your student home. Please call your school’s absence line to report the absence. The absence will be excused.

We have more winter weather resources and information on our School Cancellation web page.
