Good evening! Our elementary school is fully heated and our middle school is warming up as I write. We expect to be in session tomorrow, Wednesday, January 22 with no unforeseen issues. Our middle school may be a few degrees cooler than normal, so some students may want to bring an extra layer. We appreciate your patience as we work through this.

Good morning school is closed today, Tuesday, January 21. Unfortunately, an problem overnight with our boilers that will not supply heat to the building. We will do everything possible to get this rectified today and keep you posted. Again school is canceled today, Tuesday, January 21.

I hope this email finds you warm and well. Our priority is always to have students in school as planned, whenever possible. Even with the cold temperatures, our transportation partners, Illinois Central School Bus, are confident their pre-start-up plan will allow them to successfully run buses in the morning so school can continue in person as scheduled. Our building temperatures have also been checked by our maintenance staff to ensure a safe environment for students and staff. Barring any unforeseen emergencies, we plan to be in session tomorrow, Tuesday, 1/21/25. We open our doors at 7:30am if you would like to drop off your child and avoid the bus stop. Please dress warmly and stay safe. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing students and staff tomorrow!

Good afternoon, Unfortunately Shiloh Village School District #85 Schools will be closed again tomorrow, Wednesday, January 8th. Thank you for understanding that many factors go into these decisions, including the various parts of the district, temperatures, ice and refreezing, input from the bus company, and the conditions of sidewalks and bus stops. We thank those in our community who have helped by clearing sidewalks and bus stops in front of your homes. We are also very grateful to the Village of Shiloh crew who are working24/7 to clear roads and our own maintance staff for clearing the parking lots and sidewalks at both schools.
