Dear Townsend Elementary Families,
Due to power outages in the area, Townsend Elementary is currently without power. We have been informed that power is not expected to be restored within the several hours. As a result, Townsend Elementary will dismiss all students early today at 11:00 a.m.
Before dismissal, all students will be provided with a sack lunch to take home.
Dismissal Procedures:
• Bus riders: Buses will begin picking up students at 11:00 a.m. and will follow their normal routes.
• Car riders: Please use the normal car-rider line and dismissal process beginning at 11:00 a.m.
• Parents picking up a student who does not normally ride home by car: Please also use the car-rider line rather than coming into the office.
Please plan accordingly for your child to arrive home earlier than usual today, particularly if your child rides the bus.
Townsend's phones are also currently down due to the power outage. In the event of an emergency only, please call the Central Office at 517-782-9044, and we will relay your message to Townsend staff.
We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your flexibility and understanding as we respond to circumstances outside of the district’s control. Our priority is ensuring that students are dismissed safely and efficiently.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Respectfully,
Melissa Bradfield
Superintendent
