Important Information!

Dear Parents:

We have been informed by the City of Rockford that a no water contact order has been issued due to levels of E-coli found in the City water.  The contamination was caused by an equipment malfunction at the City’s water treatment plant.

Based on the recommendation of the Kent County Health Department, and because the health and safety of your children is our priority, the following schools/programs will be closed on Thursday, September 5:

CLOSED

Meadow Ridge Elementary

Parkside Elementary

Valley View Elementary

North Rockford Middle School

River Valley Academy

Child Care (Administration Building)

ALL OTHER SCHOOLS ARE IN SESSION

AND TRANSPORTATION ROUTES WILL RUN AS NORMAL

 

If the City of Rockford is able to resolve this issue, we will plan on all schools being in session on Friday, but I will keep you informed if this changes.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dr. Michael Shibler, Superintendent

Rockford Public Schools
