We are letting you know this evening so that you are better able to plan fortomorrow. We will monitor weather conditions for Thursday, January 8. Please continue to check our district website at www.lakeforestschools.org for the latest information.

The decision to close our schools, or adjust our start or dismissal times for an emergency-related situation is a complicated one and based on a number of factors. These factors include available information from local law enforcement and city agencies, weather forecast services, wind chill, reports from our bus company, reports from our buildings/grounds staff, and conversations with neighboring school district administrators. Road conditions and the possibility of dangerously unsafe temperatures are the main factors that drive the decision. If we need to close or delay the start of school, parents will be notified using our Instant Alert system and through postings on our website.

As always, our most important concern is for the safety of our students, staff and parents.
