Dear parents and guardians,
Thank you for your patience and understanding this morning as are dealing with unexpected pipes bursting at BES which led to severe flooding to half of the school. However, we want to assure everyone that classes will continue as scheduled.
We understand this may cause some concern, and while classes are still in session, parents are welcome to pick up their child if they feel it is necessary. We have made temporary rearrangements in classroom spaces to ensure the safety and comfort of all students.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to resolve this situation quickly. Thank you for your support, and we will keep you updated with any further developments.
