School Closed Graphic

School Closings: Palos 118 utilizes an urgent parent notification system to contact parents through home phones, cell phones, and email. A test of the urgent parent notification system occurs at the beginning of each school year. Parents can update their contact information through the school office.

In addition, closing information is provided to the media outlets through the “Emergency Closing Center” https://wgnradio.com/weather/emergency-closing-center and can be found on the district website www.palos118.org.
