District 200 School Community,
Forecasts for Wednesday, August 23, and Thursday, August 24, are predicting temperatures in the high 90s and possibly into the 100s. We want to inform you about our plans for ensuring the safety and well-being of our students and staff during these periods of high heat.
Our schools will use the Child Care Weather Chart below to determine if it is safe for students to go outdoors for recess, P.E. class, or similar activities. If a combination of temperature and humidity results in a heat index in the red category, students will remain indoors.
Wheaton North and Wheaton Warrenville South High Schools will follow guidance from the Illinois High School Association (IHSA). Both of the high schools will provide direct communication to students and families regarding modifications to practices, contests, and game schedules. All middle schools will follow the weather chart recommendations and will communicate directly to their school communities about modifications to their athletic practices.
In addition to monitoring the weather, beginning this evening, all District 200 schools will continuously run all air conditioning units through Friday evening to ensure our schools can maintain a comfortable temperature for students and staff.
Parents with specific concerns regarding their own child(ren) may contact their child’s teacher and/or principal.
Sincerely,
District 200
