Dear Blue Ace Families,
We want to inform you about an upcoming power outage affecting our schools. On May 8th at 3:00 pm, American Electric Power (AEP) will disconnect power to Granville High School (GHS), Granville Middle School (GMS), and Granville Intermediate School (GIS) to facilitate the relocation of a utility pole for the roundabout project at the intersection of State Route 661 (Pearl St.) and New Burg St.
Here are the details:
- Timing and Impact:
- GMS/GHS: The power outage will occur after dismissal, so regular school hours will not be affected. However, evening events scheduled at GMS/GHS will be canceled.
- GIS: Granville Intermediate School will experience the outage during the last half-hour of the school day. We will follow our normal dismissal process.
- Phones will be re-routed to the District Office during the outage.
- Safety Measures:
- Our emergency generators will provide basic lighting and functionality.
- Staff members are aware of safety protocols.
- If you need to pick up your child early, please coordinate with the front office earlier in the day.
- Communication:
- We will keep you updated via email.
- Please check your email regularly for any additional announcements.
- In case of emergencies, we will send out notifications promptly.
We appreciate your understanding and patience as we navigate this construction-related inconvenience.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Your partner in education,
Jeff Brown
Superintendent, Granville Schools
