Ivanna Eudora Kean High School students on St. Thomas are being dismissed and reverting to virtual instruction starting at noon Tuesday due to ongoing repairs by the Water and Power Authority to a water pump station affecting the eastern side of St. Thomas, the V.I. Education Department announced.
Without a reliable water supply, the school cannot ensure a safe and healthy environment for students and staff, it said. Unfortunately, a definite completion time for the repairs is currently unavailable, prompting the urgent need for students to leave the school premises.
Classes will continue virtually, with online instruction beginning at noon Tuesday. Teachers will contact students via email or Teams to coordinate assignments and activities.
Transportation arrangements are as follows:
– Bus Transportation: Buses have been dispatched to transport students who normally use bus services.
– Parent/Guardian Pickup: Parents and guardians are asked to pick up their children from the school as soon as possible.
Please monitor official VIDE communication channels for any further updates.
