Water line break

Dear Parents/Guardians,

This notice is to inform you of a water line break, which occurred at the school today, approximately one hour before lunch.

Water began flowing from an underground line, directly beside the school, near the parking lot entrance doors. As this occurred outside, there was no direct danger to students. Staff directed students to use alternate doors, to avoid the affected area. The CBE and the City of Calgary were called to attend and assessed the situation. Currently (as of the 1:20 PM press time) water has been turned off at the school while crews further assess the situation. Typically, a line is run from a nearby hydrant to an intake valve at the school, to provide water for our sinks and washrooms, while potable water is provided by the City or the CBE. We will keep you updated as events unfold.

The safety and security of everyone at our school is our number one priority. At no time were any students or staff in any jeopardy. The school followed its safety procedures and students handled themselves admirably.
