Update on Primrose Elementary School: School open on Friday Sept. 9, 2022
September 8, 2022
Dear parents/guardians,
We wanted to provide you with an update on the water situation at our school. As you are aware, we had to make the unfortunate decision to close the school on Thursday, September 8 due to water concerns at the school and a lack of available portable toilets.
Water flow has been restored to the school and drinking water is available. As a result, the school will be open on Friday, September 9 and we are very pleased to welcome everyone back.
We also want to reassure families and provide an update on the short-term and long-term steps being taken to resolve the situation and avoid further disruptions.
Water was restored on Thursday, however additional work will be required to fully rectify this issue. In the short term, portable toilets and water stations will remain on site and drinking water will continue to be delivered to the school.
For a longer term solution, board staff are looking into measures to either repair or replace the well and improve water pressure. If a longer term, permanent solution requires extended timelines, the school board will implement an alternative or supplemental water supply source in the interim.
We will continue to share progress on the repairs with the school community on a regular basis. We deeply regret having to make the difficult decision to close the school on Thursday and will do everything we can to ensure a stable and predictable return to school for students, with their safety and well-being as our top concern.
Thank you,
Marianne Millsap
Principal
