A message from Dr. Graczyk:

I am writing to provide an update about Acme Elementary 
 
The Power Company has been working on site since this afternoon. Unfortunately, as of 9 o'clock tonight, there is still no power, and there is a possibility that power may not be restored in time for school. 
 
We understand that this situation is not ideal and can be quite frustrating. We will send an update before 6 AM to let you know if school is closed with a flexible instruction day or a regular school day. We appreciate your patience and recognize how challenging this must be for all of you.
