School Monday Pre-K – grade 7

Saturday November 3, 21012 Update     1:00pm

• All of the buildings have power EXCEPT the High School. 
• We will have school for Pre-K through grade 7 on Monday November 6, 2012
• High School students will NOT have school.  If the power comes back to the high school  by Sunday night, everyone will report to school
• We will notify either way on Sunday by 7:00 pm
• Please remember that tonight is daylight savings time, clocks go back one hour.
• We have been contacted by LIPA administrators who assure us that the HS has a high  priority
• All staff are to report on Monday (including HS personnel)-
• HS personnel to report to the HS Monday morning
• Most of the traffic lights are working but bus travel will be slow.  Please be patient!
• Bus stops may need to change because of downed trees, so it may take longer than expected
• We are hopeful that gas will become more readily available.  If not we may not have bus service because we don’t have gas.
• We are cancelling Superintendent’s Conference day, Tuesday November 6, 2012. It will be a normal school day
• We will isolate voters and hire additional security for Meadow, Hampton and Jackson
• I have asked the Elementary principals to arrange for Halloween festivities and parade to occur on Tuesday November 6
• We will keep all of the buildings open late for those families that still do not have power.
• I strongly urge families to remain in the schools, stay warm, use the technology and try to be comfortable until power is restored in your homes.
• I am asking for all staff that can help supervise after school to let your principal know your availability.
• District Internet and e-mail is back-up but will be intermittent
• Please pass the word since communication is still unreliable
