We will continue to monitor the system this evening and conduct a final temperature check at 5:45 a.m. If the system fails overnight, we will send a notification first thing in the morning.
Thank you for your continued patience and understanding. Have a wonderful evening.
Please be advised that Kenna Elementary will be dismissing early today at 10:30 a.m. due to natural gas supply issues affecting our heating and hot water systems.

We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we ensure the comfort and safety of our students. If you have any questions, please contact the main office at 304-372-2262.
