Because District 87 is located inside the city limits, it is rare that schools would close due to winter weather conditions.  When such a determination is made, the information is provided to WJBC (1230-AM) and to the Pantagraph City Line (829-9000 Category 4201), usually by 6:00 AM in the morning.  Please do not call the school since the switchboard would be closed at that hour.  If a decision is made to close early due to either heat or wintry weather, the decision would be announced on WJBC.  If it is necessary to cancel sports or other activities, this would be announced on WJBC.  Weather closings will also be posted on the school and/or district web site.  Because weather conditions can interfere with posting on the Internet, this information is considered unofficial until confirmed by listening to WJBC.
