Dear D159 Families and Employees,
As expected, the Governor of Illinois has extended the mandated school closure with his order that all Illinois residents are to "stay at home or place of residence" through Tuesday, April 7, 2020. There are exceptions to this order but schools are not included in the list of exceptions. Therefore, Mokena School District 159 will remain closed until Wednesday, April 8, 2020.
Please understand that this does not end our desire for students to continue accessing the online learning opportunities similar to what was done this week. Further, as I mentioned in the email I sent this morning, we are planning to transition from "online learning opportunities" to "e-Learning with a Human Touch." Our goal is to transition to "e-Learning with a Human Touch" on Monday, April 6. We will continue our planning as there is a real possibility that schools will be closed for a longer period of time. More information about this will be sent as it is available.
Please access our current Engaged Learning resources here:
Mokena 159 Engaged Learning
Please know that we will continue to do our best to bring "normal" to a very abnormal time! We want your child and your entire family to know that we are here to provide the best learning opportunities possible during a very difficult time.
For now, I wish you and your family the very best.
Please stay safe and healthy!
Sincerely,
Dr. Don White, Superintendent
Mokena School District 159
We are aware of the complications that this will cause for our families. However, we believe that we have a shared responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our community.
