Hot, humid weather will be creating sticky situations in many area classrooms, and some school districts that have no air cooling systems will be dismissing students early this week.
The Bradley Elementary School District will be dismissing students one hour earlier than normal this week, Superintendent Scott Goselin announced on the district's website. In Momence and Peotone, students will be released early at least for today and Tuesday.
Students at Aquinas Catholic Academy in Kankakee will be dismissed at 12:15 p.m. every day this week as well.
Students at Bradley Central will be dismissed at 1:30 p.m.; Bradley East, 2 p.m.; and Bradley West, 2:20 p.m. All preschool and kindergarten students will remain on a regular schedule during the upcoming week.
The early dismissal schedule will be in effect all week at Bradley Elementary.
"Without air conditioning in most of the buildings, the temperatures and heat index in the classrooms rise to a level that makes learning difficult," Goselin wrote in the letter to parents.
