Good afternoon, Van Gogh ECHS Parents/Guardians,
We would like to make you aware that we are currently experiencing air conditioning issues that are impacting some of our middle school classrooms in grades 6–8.
Our Maintenance team has already begun addressing the issue. In the meantime, beginning tomorrow, Wednesday, September 30, classes currently located in the impacted areas will be temporarily relocated to other available classrooms throughout Van Gogh to ensure that our students can continue their instructional day without interruption.
This temporary arrangement will remain in place until the air conditioning issue has been fully resolved.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as our team works to address the situation as quickly as possible. We will continue to keep our families informed and will provide an update once the issue has been resolved.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Best regards,
Van Gogh ECHS Administration
