Dear Irene Lopez families,
Last Friday, a storm brought water into multiple areas of our campus. Our buildings are safe and teams are working to dry and clean the affected spaces.
To keep learning on track we have made a few temporary adjustments to some classroom locations. Your child may spend time in a different room while cleaning and drying are completed. Staff will guide students to the correct location each morning and during transitions. Arrival and dismissal routines remain the same.
Thank you for your flexibility and support. If you have any questions, please call the front office.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
