Important Update for Dowagiac Union Schools Families
We are currently awaiting confirmation from the City that the waterline repairs have been completed.
We hope to provide an update by 10:00 PM this evening, if additional information becomes available. If no further announcement is made tonight, families should plan for school to be in session tomorrow as scheduled.
Please be aware that a boil water advisory is currently in effect. As a precaution, we will encourage families to send bottled water with their students tomorrow. Bottled water will also be available at all school buildings to ensure students and staff have access to safe drinking water.
Should the repairs not be completed and school need to be canceled, a “snow day” announcement will be communicated between 5:30-5:45 AM through our normal district communication channels.
We appreciate your patience, understanding, and flexibility as we work through this situation. The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our top priority.
Thank you for your patience as we navigate this.
