We have been informed that the boil order has been lifted! You do not need to send water to school with your students. Thank you for all your support in making sure our schools are a safe and healthy environment for our students.

Central 104 has been informed that the boil order will continue through tomorrow. We are asking that students bring in another bottle of water to help prepare for the day of learning. We will have water available for the students as well.

Central 104 will be in session tomorrow. We have been informed about the boil order and prepared both buildings with bottles of water for our students and staff. We do ask that students bring a bottle of water to school tomorrow to help prepare for the day. We look forward to another day with great learning opportunities for our students.
