The Chicago area will long remember the Blizzard of 2011. One of the most important and difficult decisions of the Superintendent is to decide to close the schools. The Superintendents from District 128 (LHS) and the elementary districts of Libertyville, Hawthorne, Rondout and Oak Grove hold conference calls to help evaluate conditions and when possible make decisions together. We hold the safety of our students as our first priority and balance that with our goal to maintain the educational program whenever possible. We were fortunate with this storm to have good weather predictions. We maintained a full day on Tuesday and closed school on Wednesday and Thursday. I hope that the early notifications were helpful for your family for planning. Often we need to wait until morning, but this storm was unusual in its enormity.
I hope that your family has been safe and warm. How have you been spending you time? Did you have some adventures digging out? Did you find some fun things to do with your children? Are you ready for school to start again tomorrow? Please respond on this blog to share ideas within our community.
See you soon.
