Good afternoon, CCUSD77 family!!

As of now, we are planning on school being in session tomorrow (Friday, January 23), even though the weather is expected to be quite cold.

Please be assured that we are taking the cold temperatures seriously. We will do our best to ensure our buildings are well-heated, and students will spend limited time outdoors while at school. We encourage families to send students dressed appropriately for the weather, including warm coats, hats, and gloves, especially for arrival and dismissal.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and partnership, and we look forward to seeing our students tomorrow!!
