Good morning, Davis Dragon families.
There is currently a power outage in the town of Gassaway. At the time the outage occurred, students had already been loaded onto buses and were on their way to school.
We are in contact with MonPower and the superintendent of schools. At this time, restoration of power is expected sometime this morning.
Our kitchen staff already has breakfast prepared and ready for students upon arrival. We will continue with the school day as planned.
If anything changes, we will notify families immediately. Thank you, and have a great day.
