Dear School Community Member:


Good afternoon. I hope everyone enjoyed the spring recess and was able to relax with family and friends.


As most of you are aware, our district calendar includes three (3) emergency closing days for inclement weather and this year we only used two (2) "snow days" during the winter months. According to our BOE approved district calendar, all unused emergency closing days are to be returned around Memorial Day weekend (Note: This is a contractual requirement). As a result, all Park Ridge Public Schools will be closed on Friday, May 22nd.


A copy of the updated 2025-26 school calendar can be found at this link:



All the best to you and your family for a smooth and successful end to the school year.


Sincerely,


Robert M. Gamper, Ed.D.

Superintendent of Schools
