News & Announcements

The safety and security of all District 142 students, families, and staff is of utmost importance. Therefore, tomorrow, Tuesday, January 26, Forest Ridge School District 142 will be canceling In-Person (Hybrid A) learning due to anticipated severe weather conditions overnight. This is NOT a snow day.

With reports of heavy and blowing snow coming our way, the District is monitoring the weather very closely. In the event that we cancel In-Person instruction due to inclement weather, you will be notified as soon as possible via our SwiftReach notification system by text and email. Additionally, the In-Person cancelation will be posted on the District website and social media.

In looking through the current CCDPH, IDPH, and CDC guidelines, Forest Ridge School District 142 wanted to set administrative procedures for quarantines that were concise, consistent, and clearly communicated to staff and our families.

Happy New Year District 142 families!!


We hope you are all staying healthy as we begin the 2021 New Year!  We are looking forward to welcoming all our students tomorrow, Thursday, January 7, 2021.

On behalf of the Board of Education, the Administrative Team, and the entire Forest Ridge School District 142 family, we are wishing you a healthy, happy, and restful Winter Break.

Each week the Board of Education puts together a weekly COVID-19 Community Newsletter. This newsletter is based on the most current information available.

Forest Ridge School District 142 is committed to the health and safety of our students, staff, and families. Following identified protocols is of the utmost importance.  As a reminder, all staff members, visitors to the building and students over the age of two must wear a face mask while at school and on a school bus, consistent with guidance issued by the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) and the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH).

The Forest Ridge School District 142 Board of Education has created a weekly COVID Newsletter.

“It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” while festive in its positive message, this time of year can also be extra stressful.

It’s hard not to be totally consumed by all the things we need to get done in a day, let alone the next three weeks.

Thank you for your continued support and assistance throughout this school year. With our strong community relationships and the understanding of the importance of both learning and safety, District 142 has strived to create a sense of pride and positivity for our staff, students and families
