Dear Wheatley Families:
We pride ourselves on providing a safe, welcoming, and comfortable educational environment for our students and staff. We will always do what is in the best interest of our school community.
Today’s gas leak has resulted in a loss of water and heat for our building. With freezing temperatures expected tonight and early morning, we have decided to cancel school for Wheatley Elementary tomorrow, Tuesday, October 18, 2022. We will send you information tomorrow morning about a lunch pickup location.
JCPS maintenance and facility crews are working to have water and heat restored to our school as quickly as possible. We understand this is not ideal, but we cannot have students and staff in the building with no heat and water.
We appreciate your patience and understanding and will keep you updated throughout the day tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Rhonda K. Hedges
Assistant Principal
