ELLWOOD CITY AREA SCHOOL DISTRICT
Educating all of our children today for their success tomorrow
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
We would like to thank our students, staff, and families for their calmness and cooperation during Thursday’s dismissal at North Side. Additionally, we are grateful to our first responders for their rapid response and support.
Late on Thursday, we noticed an odor, and at dismissal, a haze was observed in one of our classrooms in the Library. As such, we evacuated the students, which was right at dismissal time.
The Fire Department and our HVAC consultants thoroughly investigated the building on Thursday. On Friday, our district team checked all systems within the building as well. After receiving updates from these teams, we are confident that the building is safe.
As a reminder, students do not have school on Monday. We look forward to welcoming everyone back on Tuesday, February 17.
Thank you for your continued trust and support.
