It’s July 5, and we are open after being closed for the holiday weekend. Today’s blog is about American School hours, which are weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Chicago time. If we will be closed for a holiday or for any other reason, we will post something on this blog and on our Facebook page. Although we are happy to let students in our accredited middle school program, accredited high school program and independent study program work at their own pace when and where it is convenient for them, students should not write us on the weekends or when we are closed and expect an immediate reply. All emails will be answered on our next business day, which is our policy. Thank you for your cooperation and for making us your distance education middle school or distance education high school.
