Dear Burr District Elementary Families,

Wednesday, September 01, 2010 update:
I’m still lonely here at BES. I feel worst for our kindergarten friends who have been waiting five years for that first “real” ride on the school bus. However, the school is already much improved. The fans and dehumidifiers are working great. Everything is drying out nicely. We’ll have professionals here at the school on Friday to clean the floors again and we should have no problems with a Tuesday opening. Thank goodness this did not happen a few days earlier when the teachers had their materials all over their floors as they organized for the first day. We could have lost a lot more than we did. Thank you all for your understanding and your words of encouragement. I’d like to especially thank our custodians, maintenance staff and Mr. Mala for their efforts and our office staff, Mrs. Deimel and Mrs. Sadlowski for all the phone calls they made and received yesterday. I think they went home with sore throats. Still awaiting your return,
Eric

Dear Parents of Burr Students,
On Sunday night a pipe leaked in one of our bathrooms and flooded a majority of the school.  District maintenance staff and outside contractors have been working to clean up the water.  However, they will need more time to complete the task and the school will be closed for the next three days.  Burr District Elementary will not open until Tuesday, September 7.  We will update you on our progress over the weekend.  I am sorry for this inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Eric Larson
