Dear Parents/Guardians,
Due to an incident involving a tractor-trailer that hit a pole, the power at Marie Curie Elementary is currently out. As a result we have decided on an early dismissal at 11:45 a.m. Rest assured, your child will be provided with a lunch to take home. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this unexpected situation.
Sincerely,
Rich Ruberti
GASD Superintendent of Schools
