Lybrook Families: The water main issue has been resolved and we are ON for school tomorrow, May 21! Thank you for your patience! Go Beavers!

Due to an active water main break at Lybrook Elementary, we will be dismissing MSHS at 9:00 and Lybrook at 9:15 a.m. While we had hoped to continue the school day with temporary measures, the situation requires us to close the building for the safety and comfort of our students and staff. All students have received breakfast this morning and will be sent home with a lunch. Staff are assisting with a smooth and safe dismissal process. Please make arrangements to pick up your child or ensure someone is available at home if they ride the bus. If your child’s transportation or dismissal plan has changed, contact the office as soon as possible. We appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we respond to this unexpected issue. We will provide updates as we learn more about the repair timeline and plans for tomorrow.

Due to an unforeseen water main break at Lybrook Elementary, we may need to dismiss students early today. At this time, we are actively assessing the situation with our facilities team and local officials. Please know that all students will be provided with breakfast this morning. We will send out an update at 8:15 a.m. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the safety and well-being of our students and staff.
