"We will continue to monitor the weather and make a decision as soon as possible on Monday regarding classes on Tuesday," a note on the district's website stated.

Other districts in the area were still deciding whether or not to close schools because of the weather. Chicago Public Schools announced Saturday that it would be keeping schools open Monday, telling parents to use their discretion on letting their children attend.

Tinley Park schools have been out of session since late December for their winter breaks, and most of them are scheduled to begin classes again Monday, Jan. 6.
