Water Update 8/23/23:
We would like to inform you that our water supply to the school is still adequate and our treatment facility is functioning normally to ensure that all water coming to the school is safe for all. The issues we have been having are the result of converting a cistern from raw water storage to treated water storage. To do so required shocking the cistern and checking that the residual chlorine levels are safe before we can move water through the cistern and to the school. If you have any questions, please call the school.
REMOTE LEARNING:
We are pleased to report water supply has been restored to school facilities after yesterday’s disruption. However, as a precaution to ensure our water systems continue to operate properly, the remote learning period will be extended to tomorrow, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 23. Grades 6-12 will be on remote learning. For grades PK-5, if your child’s teachers sent them home with work, please have them complete it and turn in upon return to school. We hope to have students return to in-person learning by Thursday, August 24, however we will continue to monitor the situation and will send any updates to families as they become available.
Please watch for instructional updates from your child’s teacher(s), and if you have any questions please contact them directly. For additional information on remote learning procedures and schedules, please check the school website.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
