• Inclement Weather Notice

U-46 sometimes must close schools due to inclement weather. The District’s first concern is the safety and welfare of students and staff who must travel to and from school under adverse conditions. The weather conditions can vary widely in the 90-square-mile-boundaries of School District U-46 but we aim to make the best decision for the majority of our staff, students, and families.

When inclement weather is underway or expected, Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Johnson is in regular contact with our Transportation and Plant Operations teams for updates. Information is also gathered from the State of Illinois, authorities in our three counties (Kane, Cook and DuPage), local police and colleagues in other area school districts. With that input, the Superintendent makes the decision on the status of schools, if possible, by 5:15 a.m. If classes are canceled for the entire day due to inclement weather, the District will send out a mass notification phone call, email, and text message to all parents and staff by 5:45 a.m. When the regular school day is canceled, all school activities are canceled as well.

There are multiple places to check for information about weather-related closings. Information about closings will be released through:  

• A phone, email and text message to parents in both English and Spanish.
