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!!

During National Passenger Safety Week, S.A.D.D. wants to remind you that it’s okay to speak up. Don’t worry about being a “back-seat driver” when it comes to saving lives.

If a driver is distracted, speeding, or not wearing a seat belt, saying something could make all the difference. Looking out for one another helps keep everyone safe—every ride, every time.
