We have determined that the fire at Mitchell Woods PS was contained to the boiler room, although the smoke and soot damage has taken time to remediate and clean. This cleaning will continue over the weekend.
We remain hopeful for a return to school on Monday, October 20, however, we are asking families and staff to have a backup plan in case an additional day is required for cleaning and testing. We will provide an update on Sunday around 5:00 p.m. to confirm the plans for Monday morning.
In the event we require an extra day, students and staff would continue in remote learning where possible. All buses and taxis will remain cancelled to the school until it reopens.
