During our routine summer water testing, elevated levels of copper were identified in some locations within our building. Our regular filtering, flushing, and testing procedures have been effective in correcting all but three of those locations. These three locations are currently undergoing additional corrective measures and follow-up testing to ensure they meet water quality standards before being returned to service.
As we prepare to welcome students back, we are taking additional steps to ensure that our drinking water sources are safe for students, staff, and visitors. These steps include enhancing our filtration systems, increasing the frequency of filter replacement, and continuing our regular monitoring and testing procedures.
To support these efforts, classroom bubblers will be turned off, and students will use designated water bottle-filling stations for drinking water. We will also be purchasing additional water bottle fillers to provide convenient access to filtered drinking water throughout the building.
The health and safety of our students and staff remains our highest priority. We are committed to maintaining a safe learning environment and will continue to monitor our water system and follow all recommended guidance. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you,
Robin Butler, Principal
