Dear Kindergarten Parents,

This is to inform you that the work to replace our Electrical Vault, located in the Colbeck yard near Exit #2, will be starting tomorrow. This work involves digging trenches from the existing vault, just inside the school yard, to the sidewalk on Colbeck Avenue.

Due to this work, the staircase at Colbeck will be closed off beginning Tuesday, December 16.

The trenching and repaving should be completed by January 5, 2015.

Parents picking up and dropping off students are asked to enter the Adventure Yard at the North end of the Runnymede yard behind the portables.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Yours in Partnership,

Amelia Dennis

Principal, Runnymede P.S.
