Below are the various circumstances in which we may act in the event of inclement weather.
In-Person Learning: The District's number one priority is to have students in person at school as much as possible.
In-Person Late Start: If the morning weather is inclement but is expected to improve throughout the day, a Late Start may be called for all Geneva 304 schools. In the event of a Late Start for all Geneva 304 schools, all bus routes would still run, beginning 2 hours later than normally scheduled. The following Late Start schedules also apply to students in alternative placements outside Geneva CUSD 304.
- Elementary Schools: Drop off is at 9:45 a.m. with a 10 a.m. school start. Dismissal remains at 2:15 p.m.
- Middle Schools: School starts at 10:35 a.m. Dismissal remains at 3:24 p.m. A detailed Late Start schedule, broken down by grade and period, is available on Geneva Middle School South and Geneva Middle School North websites.
- High School: School starts at 9:40 a.m. A detailed Late Start schedule, broken down by period, is available on the Geneva High School website.

E-Learning Day: If an E-Learning Day is called, in lieu of using an Emergency Day, K-12 students would be expected to learn remotely by logging into their 1:1 devices to participate in learning throughout the day. Attendance would be taken remotely. It is important for this reason that students bring home their 1:1 devices daily. Additional details would be provided by your child's school.
- An E-Learning Day schedule will be implemented. Elementary schools will begin at 9:00 AM. GHS E-Learning Day Schedule. Middle School E-Learning Day Schedule
- If an inclement weather day is declared an e-Learning day, students will engage with teachers remotely.
- Teachers will send a TEAMS link to their students. Teachers have informed students about this process.
- Attendance will be taken.
- Information about extra-curricular activities will be shared at some point during the day
- Study halls will not meet on an eLearning day.
- FVCC students will receive information from the Fox Valley Career Center. If there are questions about any other unique courses, please contact the teacher by email.
Emergency Day: An Emergency Day will be called if schools need to be closed without significant advanced notice and teachers and students would not come to the building. If an Emergency Day is called, school would be canceled for the day and made up at the end of the year.
The District will do its best to decide regarding school closures by 6 a.m. If a late start is utilized called due to inclement weather, please be aware that there is still a possibility that school will be canceled if conditions do not improve. Every effort will be made to make this decision by 7 a.m., and parents and students are encouraged to continue to monitor the District’s website and local television/radio stations for updates.
