The following message was sent to all WB Families and voice message sent to RLM Families:
Good afternoon Rose L MacDonald Families,
We wanted to you know that we did have some issues over the weekend at the school with loss of power and tree damage that took down some wires. The power has been restored to the building. Unfortunately, the phone lines and internet will not be fixed until tomorrow morning. We want to thank our maintenance and custodial staff and all who helped over the weekend to get the school ready for Monday.
If you need to contact the school please call 508-894-1242. This number is for the RLM main office. If for any reason you cannot get through you can call the Spring Street School at 508-894-1230. We hope that we will be fully operational and back to normal later in the morning.
All schools in the district will be open at the regularly scheduled time tomorrow.
Thank you and have a great night.
Mark Bodwell
