District 163 will be in session Today, January 23rd. Busses will be proceeding slow and steady and we ask that staff who are driving to work do the same. We understand that staff who are driving a distance may arrive later than usual and ask that those staff members who reside closer to schools assist administrators with students until all staff arrive. Safety is your first priority so please drive slowly. Sent from my iPhone
