Kingsley-Pierson students will return to the district’s main building in Kingsley for the first time in nearly two months, after damage from a water main break caused the building to be shut down for repairs.
In a letter released on the district’s Facebook page on December 31st, K-12 principal Adam Brand announced that students will be able to attend classes in the newly-repaired building starting today. The district’s winter break was extended by a day to help faculty members move back into the building. Parts of the building, including the auditorium and stage, the north gym, and band and choir rooms, are still being worked on by crews. Along with the repairs, new carpet and tile flooring has been installed throughout the building.
Elementary and high school students have been learning online and in alternate locations since November 10th, when a water main broke and caused significant damage throughout the building. In the aftermath of the break, students attended classes at the St. Michael’s Learning Center and the Kingsley Community Center, while crews worked to clean and restore the building.
In the letter, Brand stated that, while several projects and repairs aren’t finished yet, the district and building is “ready for students.”
