The Hawbridge School will be closed for K-12 students and teachers on Friday, September 30. We wish you a safe weekend.
LOWER SCHOOL Canceled 9/28-9/30
UPPER SCHOOL on Regular Schedule
Dear Hawbridge Families,
We need to make you aware of an issue affecting our lower school building. Late last week, a staff member noticed a smell and some growth on a surface in the lower school that raised concern about mold. Today, a specialist confirmed that there are areas in the lower school building that are affected by the presence of mold. The specialist recommended further investigation and remediation to ensure the problem is fully eliminated.
We are committed to the safety of our students and teachers. Therefore, we are canceling school for K-6 students attending the lower school for the remainder of this week, through Friday, September 30. We will aggressively investigate and remediate during that time, and we will provide an update by the evening of Friday, September 30, to report what we know. Please note: the upper school, for grades 7-12, will meet on our regular schedule. This closure affects only grades K-6 who meet in the lower school building.
We realize this issue brings concern. As parents and teachers who inhabit the building ourselves, we are also concerned, and we are taking measures to be as certain as possible that our building's air quality is high. While we have followed a regular maintenance schedule, the ductwork in some areas of the lower school appears to have been affected by moisture; however, at this time we cannot certify the extent or root cause of the issue. We will be following expert guidance for the most reliable solutions possible, mindful that everyone wants to be able to return to a normal schedule as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
The Hawbridge School Administration
