Dear Parents,
As you are probably aware, Oconee County has been under a boil water advisory since mid-day yesterday. After learning of the advisory and speaking with our representative from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency (GEMA) for guidance, we immediately shut off all drinking fountains out of an abundance of caution and provided bottled water to students in every division. We continue to make that water available to everyone on campus and will do so until the advisory is lifted and it is safe to turn our fountains back on. There is plenty of water and we will make sure everyone is staying hydrated.
We are also currently undertaking a major project in the Science and Art Building, where the original chiller in the air condition unit has failed. Our HVAC technicians have been working to install a temporary unit that will help get us to the summer, when we can complete the project with a more permanent solution. Students have been asked to avoid the lower path to the classrooms along the lake for the time being. Some may have seen a man on a motorcycle wearing a face mask in our parking lot, but please know he is the welder for the HVAC crew and has been cleared to be on our campus. The facilities office authorizes every service professional working on our campus, as security and safety are our first priority.
It’s certainly a busy time but we hope you’ll make time to join us for one of the many awesome upcoming events on Spartan Lane, including today’s girls’ tennis match at 1:00 p.m.; the Rise Against Hunger meal packaging event tomorrow morning in the Tillman Center; Festival Day at Mastandrea Stadium on Saturday afternoon; or the Upper School production of The Addams Family, tonight and tomorrow night–it’s an exciting time of year!
Thank you for your continued support, and please feel free to reach out with any questions.
Sincerely,
John Thorsen
