Chicago Public Schools Cancel In-Person Class Amid Winter Storm

CHICAGO — Chicago Public Schools officials cancelled in-person learning for Tuesday due to heavy snow and extreme winter weather. All classes will be held remotely.

Prekindergarten and special education cluster students set to return to classrooms Tuesday will remain in virtual classrooms, officials said.

"The extreme weather conditions expected tonight and tomorrow could present a hazardous commute to families of [prekindergarten] and cluster program students who selected in-person learning, and in the interest of safety we are cancelling in-person classes," CPS chief executive Janice Jackson said in a statement. "We expect in-person learning to resume on Wednesday and will keep families updated as additional information becomes available.”
