East Alton School District #13
January 6, 2025
Good afternoon East Alton Families,
With the current conditions, tomorrow, Tuesday, January 7, 2025, will be a traditional SNOW DAY, not an E-Learning day.
With the potential for additional inclement weather, the transition to e-learning days may occur, therefore, we are providing a device/packet pick-up time for families of K-3rd grade students. Devices/packets can be picked up from the Eastwood gym (Door 8) between 12:00 PM and 5:30 PM on Tuesday, January 7th.
Please click on the link below for important information about device/packet pick up.

***Important Winter Weather Announcement for East Alton SD 13 Families***
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2025 and the winter storm.
With the winter weather, we are wanting to provide some reminders as this weather impacts our area.
Monday, January 6th is a Teacher Institute Day and there is no student attendance.
Please note that all extracurricular activities scheduled for tomorrow are CANCELLED.
We will be planning on making decisions as early as we can, but will only cancel if weather conditions warrant cancellation.
We look to make this decision Monday afternoon. Please make sure to stay tuned as we announce possible school closures or changes to our schedule.
As always, please tune in to local media (radio and TV channels), School Messenger, and updates to our Facebook page.
We will be monitoring weather and road conditions closely Monday and will share updates as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support and flexibility.
Stay safe and stay warm!
The Oiler Market will be open from 10:30-11:45 on Thursday, December 19th due to early dismissal. We will be closed over the break and reopen on January 9th.
