Cold Day Cancellation

This decision is based on the temperature during the morning hours when students wait outside for the bus. If there is a wind chill advisory, school will most likely be in session. However, if there is a windchill warning (-30) we will most likely cancel school the night before.

Snow Day Cancellation

Snow day cancellations are based on several factors and include discussions with nearby school districts in McHenry County as to whether they will be closing or staying open. Although we'd like to call snow days the night before, often that is an early morning call after all factors are considered.

Announcement of Cancellation

Phone/Email: Using Skylert/School Messenger we will initiate mass messaging whenever there is a school closing due to inclement weather. Announcements can also be received through RB Facebook, the school website, superintendent @DrTomLind and principal twitter pages.
