On Monday afternoon a sprinkler head in an upstairs classroom in the new addition failed causing substantial flooding to the new classrooms. Restoration crews are on site ensuring all areas will be thoroughly dried, cleaned and rebuilt if needed. School will be open on Tuesday, January 19th for all students except those in Ms. Vann’s, Ms. Hamm’s and Ms. Hodgkinson’s Kindergarten rooms. Those three classrooms will not be ready until Wednesday. More information and any changes will be sent home by letter with your child on Tuesday. Please know that Dearborn Schools will make every effort to return all students to their classrooms in the new addition as soon as possible.
