Dear Glade Families,
This morning shortly after 9:00, the main power and phone service to Glade Elementary were interrupted. At that time, our emergency generator and supplemental electrical lines were utilized to provide lighting to most areas of the building. Glade students and staff have been able to continue with the instructional day while the FCPS Maintenance and Operations Department works with outside utility services to resolve the outage.
Glade has had very little disruption to normal operations. Students are in class and learning. The expectation is that Glade will be able to maintain normal operations for students through the end of this shortened two-hour early dismissal day. Given the short day and lack of phone service, we ask that parents do not come to the school early to pick up their child(ren). Early student pickup would create a disruption during lunch shifts and impact the normal routine of dismissal by overloading the area where students board buses.
