Several schools within the Anglophone South School District are currently closed today, February 29, 2024, due to widespread power outages. This disruption affects students and families across the region, prompting adjustments to learning schedules.
The following schools are confirmed to be closed:
- Hammond River Valley Elementary School

These closures are a direct result of the ongoing power issues, and school officials are prioritizing the safety and well-being of students and staff. Parents and guardians are urged to check with their individual schools for further updates and information regarding potential remote learning options or rescheduled classes.
The impact of school closures extends beyond immediate academic disruption. It also creates challenges for working parents who need to find alternative childcare arrangements. Local communities are working to support families affected by these unforeseen circumstances.
Power outages can be caused by a variety of factors, including severe weather events, equipment failures, and infrastructure issues.
