Evanston Township High School District 202 and Evanston/Skokie School District 65 will have E-Learning Days on Friday, the districts announced Thursday.

All instruction will be online, and no before or after school programming will take place Friday.

The announcement comes after the National Weather Service issued an extreme cold warning for the city.

The warning will be in effect from 3 a.m. to noon Friday and wind chills are expected to drop between 30 and 40 degrees below zero. From noon Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday, NWS has issued a cold weather advisory, with wind chills expected to be between 15 and 30 degrees below zero.

ETHS students will have independent work assigned to them online. District 65 students will have five hours of instruction, at least half of which will be synchronous.

Events at ETHS are expected to occur as scheduled Saturday, according to District 202’s website. However, the district’s campus tour and Wildkit Academy, an academic support program, are canceled. District 65 has not yet provided information about its Saturday programming.

E-learning days count as instructional days, so no make-up days will be added to either district’s school year.

In an effort to protect employees, recycling collection is postponed until Saturday, but residential refuse collection is expected to continue as scheduled, the city announced Thursday. Both Main and Robert Crown Library Branches will also have a delayed opening at 1 p.m. on Friday.
