Dear DPSCD Families,

Please be advised that the vast majority of our schools have power after this evening’s storm. Please expect a regular day of school tomorrow. Only an isolated group of schools on the Westside of the city are without power. We will communicate through robo call and robo text tomorrow morning at individual schools if the power is not restored. Overall, again, please expect to have school tomorrow.
