Temporary Closure of Wildwood Elementary

Letter from SD27 to Wildwood
Elementary parents

Update at 12:03pm, Wed Apr 22nd - School District #27 has issued an press release on the temp closure of Wildwood Elementary which you can review here

Original Blog Post:

In a letter distributed to parents of Wildwood Elementary this past Monday - School District #27 informed parents that mold was discovered in the crawl space below the school gym last Thursday (April 16th) and thus necessitated the temporary shutdown of the school

Students at Wildwood Elementary have been given this week off while preparations at Marie Sharpe take place.  Starting this Monday (April 27th) - they will attend a "school within a school" at Marie Sharpe Elementary for the remainder of this school year

This topic is being discussed on Wildwood Speak Up (Facebook Page) which you can find here while Wildwood Elementary Principal Kelly McLellan writes also on this topic here

In addition - School District #27 Staff held a meeting with local parents last night to brief them on the situation and to answer any questions they had.  I understand that another meeting will be held next month to bring Wildwood Elementary parents up to date on this topic once again

I have been also informed that issues around water drainage must be resolved first prior to the mold issue being rectified

For myself as the Area D Director - I remain hopeful that a solution can be found prior to June 30th so Wildwood Elementary can once again re-open for the 2015/16 School Year...
