We have had a set back on the water main break. It appears the leak has not been fixed. The water to the school is turned off until morning. The contractor will return in the morning for further repairs. The Little B wresting tournament has been pushed back for a 11 AM start time. We apologize for the continued changes and inconvenience.
Good afternoon!
With the state of repairs to the water main break not fully known coupled with the time crunch for decorating and other preparations, we are POSTPONING the Winter Formal. A rescheduled date will be made as soon as possible. I know this is not ideal, but we want this formal to be special and this is stressful for everybody. So sorry for the inconvenience. Please state posted for a future date announcement
Good Morning again. An update on the water main break. The city is working to repair the break but is experiencing difficulty in finding a company today who is able to make such repairs. Thus the repair will take place tomorrow. The water main that feeds the school will remain shut down until the repair is complete. Therefore, School for Friday will NOT be in person but rather another E-Learning school day. We apologize for the inconvenience and truly thank you for your understanding.
