Hello,

We would like to let you know that ComEd will be doing work on the power grid in our area and this will affect our phone system. These outages will be intermittent.

For those who are dropping off Monday AM for daycare or boarding services, we suggest that you try calling when you are dropping off. If you cannot reach us via phone, we will also have an employee stationed at the front desk to help identify those who park in our drop-off lanes to expedite the process. If we have not been able to see or accommodate you with either of those options, please enter the vestibule and ring the doorbell for assistance.

We ask that you please be patient as we work through this unforeseen issue and know that we are striving to ensure that we give you the most efficient service possible.

Thank you
