Image result for urgent

On the evening of Tuesday, September 4, 2018, an electrical malfunction occurred at Sir John A. Macdonald Secondary School which resulted in significant damage to the electrical systems. As a result, classes have been cancelled for Wednesday, September 5, 2018, and the school is closed to all staff and students. There was no impact to neighbouring residences or schools (Abraham Erb). We recognize that students and staff are eager to continue classes and so repairs are proceeding as quickly as possible. Contractors are on site and we anticipate that the school will reopen on Thursday, September 6, 2018. Any further updates will be posted on the Waterloo Region District School Board website, social media channels and the school’s website.
