West Aurora School District 129
Here is how the district will communicate with parents and staff if schools are closed due to inclement weather.
By Telephone: If schools are closed due to inclement weather, the superintendent will notify parents and staff via phone blast.
If you have a current phone number on file at the school, our system will automatically call you as soon as the decision is made by the superintendent early in the morning. If a parent does not receive a school-closing call, it is because the phone number is not listed properly in the district’s computer.
