Aug. 28, 2001 – The start of school for students at the Michael J. Kirwan Elementary School will be delayed by one day while debris is removed from classrooms and other last-minute cleaning and an electrical inspection are carried out.
The electrical inspection of the kitchen and cafeteria will necessitate lunch being brought in from a satellite location on Wednesday when the Kirwan students are slated to return to school.
A release from the Education Department said reporting dates have been changed slightly due to the delay in school opening.
Here is the new reporting schedule:
Wednesday, Aug. 29, 8:15 a.m.: Grades 1 to 6. (Placement cards will be handed out starting at 7:30 a.m.)
Thursday, Aug. 30, from 8-11:30 a.m. – Kindergartners with last names beginning A – L.
Friday, Aug. 31, from 8 to 11:30 a.m.– Kindergartners with last names beginning M – Z.
In the release, Education Commissioner Ruby Simmonds said Kirwan School underwent major repairs over the summer.
