Due to a continued power outage that began yesterday at 9:00 a.m., John Muir Elementary is closed for regular instruction today. There is currently no heat or power in the building, and we do not have an estimated time for power restoration.
Supervision Available:
While the school is closed for instruction, we understand that alternative childcare may be difficult to arrange. John Muir Elementary will be open for supervision only (no instruction) for students who need it. Please note that the building is cold, so we ask that children dress warmly if they are attending.
Buses and Dismissal:
Buses will operate on their usual schedule, and dismissal will take place at the regular time.
Contact Information for Urgent Messages:
At this time, the school’s phone service is unavailable. If you need to relay an urgent message, please contact the School Board Office at 250-474-9800. Messages will be passed along to the administrative staff at John Muir, who have cell access for emergency communications.
If Your Child is Walking to School for Supervision:
Please email info@sd62.bc.ca or call the Board Office to let us know your child is coming. Include your child’s first and last name and their grade.
Thank you for your understanding and patience as we manage this situation.
