Update: Wednesday, October 16, 2019 @ 3:27 p.m. -
Update EVHS Cancelled – Thursday, October 17, 2019 – All other East Valley schools are operating on schedule.
As previously communicated, late yesterday afternoon a section of concrete shifted on the southeast side of our existing East Valley High School building. This is the side that is currently exposed due to demolition for the eventual rebuild of our high school. After further evaluation of this construction challenge, project engineers determined that additional shoring is necessary to adequately support portions of the old building. Contractors believe this work will be completed tomorrow afternoon.
As a precautionary measure, we have decided to cancel school for tomorrow, Thursday, October 17, 2019, to guarantee the safety of our students and staff. As a reminder, this section of the building is a significant distance from the classrooms that are currently being used to house our students and staff. The FCCLA field trip will continue as planned. This will be a working day for staff and they should report to the main office at their regular start time. The main office in the new building will be open for business from 7:30 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.
As we learn more, we will provide an update for our East Valley community.
