Attention SHS & FRE Families: The water main repair project, affecting SHS and Futral Road Elementary, has been successfully completed. All school operations will return to normal tomorrow.
The water main break impacting Spalding High School and Futral Road Elementary School will take five to six hours to repair. For parents who would like to check their students out of school, this will be considered an excused absence. For working parents unable to pick your child up from school, we will have bottled water, portable toilets and portable hand washing stations. We will continue normal school activities including regular school lunch and regular dismissal. All after school activities will continue as usual.
