The safety and well being of students and staff members is our top priority. In the case of inclement weather, we confer with RBHS, Komarek District 94 and Brookfield District 95 to make an emergency school closing/eLearning decision that supports our students with consideration to weather, travel, safety, and facilities.
An eLearning day, in lieu of an emergency day, allows the curriculum to move forward and does not need to be made up at the end of the school year. We understand the importance of having emergency closing information with enough time to plan for childcare and at-home support. Please note Riverside Parks and Recreation offers supervised childcare and eLearning support in conjunction with a D96 eLearning day.
eLearning Communication Plan
Students will be sent home with their electronic devices if an eLearning day is anticipated.
We aim to send an announcement between 7:00 pm and 8:00 pm the night before an eLearning day.
In an unanticipated weather or facility emergency, we would make every effort to announce that by 6:00 am.
An alert is sent to parents/guardians via SchoolMessenger phone message and email. It is also posted to the District 96 website, our social media pages, and the Emergency Closing Center website.
