Parents--A/C in part of the 400 building will be turned off for necessary maintenance today. We have a relocation plan in effect so learning can continue in cooled rooms.
Parents--Some students experienced a brief A/C outage in the 400 building today. The interruption lasted for less than a class period, but we did relocate some classes during that time. A few classes remained relocated as a precaution, but the air was restored quickly. We look forward to seeing you this evening!
