Emergency School Notifications In order to keep parents/guardians advised of school closings and other matters of high importance, District 103 will use the Honeywell Instant Alert System™. Please take a moment to log into the system and verify your contact information, such as home or cell phone number. You can find log in information on each school web site through the Parents Information tab. Contact Bonnie McNeill with questions at (847) 945-6665 ext 5633 or bmcneill@district103.k12.il.us.
Please note: In the event of severe weather, school closing announcements will be made available to local radio and television stations.
