In the case of inclement weather or other emergencies that cause our schools to close, the Marquardt School District 15 will implement e-Learning Days. Please familiarize yourself with e-Learning Expectations for students ahead of time so you and your family can be better prepared in the event of an emergency learning day plan.
We kindly ask that all students do their best to bring home their devices and chargers each night. Pre-K students will receive communication from their teachers regarding at-home learning activities.
School closures will be communicated in the following ways:
- Robo call, text message and email (Please check your phone number(s) and email address(es) in PowerSchool to ensure we have the correct contact information for you.
- www.d15.us
- District Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts
- Emergency Closing Center
- Weather coverage continues on 720 WGN, WBBM AM 780, wgnradio.com/listen, their apps, TuneIn and iHeartRadio and https://wgnradio.com/weather/weather-alerts/
Please be aware that notification systems aren't perfect. Radio and television announcements are not always broadcast immediately, web pages are not always accessible, and phone calls may not always be possible. As a result, we use several contact channels to ensure that you receive accurate and timely information.
To guarantee that you receive important school closure alerts, the District recommends that you use or subscribe to more than one of these sites.
