Revised End of School Year Date

During the course of this school year, District 105 schools were closed on three occasions due to severe weather.  One of these days was made up when students attended school on January 18th.  This day was originally a non-attendance day for students.  

The Illinois School Code mandates a minimum of five emergency days for our school calendar.  Emergency days may be used as school days if the school closes unexpectedly during the regular school year.  These five days are identified on our annual D105 calendar every year, which is posted on the website (www.d105.net) under the calendar tab.  This year, the Illinois State Board of Education is allowing school districts to substitute up to two student days for a full day of parent/teacher conferences and/or a full professional learning day for teacher.  District 105 has both of these included in our calendar.

We have decided to extend the school year by one student day.  Monday, June 3rd is scheduled as a half-day for student, but will now be a full day.  In addition, students will also attend a full day of school on Tuesday.  The end of the 2018-2019 school year will be at 3:00 PM (3:15 PM for Gurrie) on Tuesday, June 4th.  The extension of the school year will add 1 ½ student days to the calendar for a total of 175 ½. 

The updated district calendar will be posted to our D105 webpage.
