Dear Grant Families,

This is Mr. Effa notifying you of an important message.

Grant School received a notification from PG&E letting us know that they are potentially initiating a public safety power shut off. This shut off is scheduled for Wednesday as early as 4:00a.m. In the case that there will be power shut off, school will not be in session. There is no official length of time for the power shut off at Grant School. PG&E states, “In most cases, we would expect to be able to restore power within 24-48 hours after the weather passes.”

We will make an official announcement by 6:30a.m. on Wednesday whether or not the school is in session.

As soon as the school receives notification from PG&E or we confirm power is back, we will notify you via text, email, phone, and Facebook. Please prepare to have alternative supervision for your students as the entire campus including preschool and daycare will be closed during a power outage. We appreciate your patience in this matter while we establish protocol for this unprecedented situation.

In the event of a school closure on Wednesday, with the assumption that schools in the Redding city limits will still have power, the volleyball and basketball games will take place as scheduled at Mountain View Middle School.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this together. Remember, together we are Grant.
