School Closings

School Cancellation

The decision is made by 5:45 AM by the Superintendent, with the advice of the police and road departments. We urge you to check the announcements broadcast on radio and TV, as well as the websites (see list below).

Delayed Opening

This decision is also made by 5:45 AM when the weather is forecast to clear and the police and road department personnel believe that the roads will be passable. The siren will not sound. We urge you to check radio/television announcements. On days when there is a delayed opening, all buses will pick up students approximately 2 hours later than usual.  School will start at 11:00 AM.

Early Dismissal

We will dismiss students early only in extreme situations. In the rare instance of an early dismissal, the decision is made at 10:00 AM. Early Dismissal time for Mount Prospect School will be at 1PM.

NO LUNCH WILL BE SERVED ON ANY EARLY DISMISSAL OR DELAYED OPENING DAY
