Elmore Stoutt High School Moves to Virtual Learning Due to Water Issues

Elmore Stoutt High School will transition to virtual learning on Tuesday,  February 25, as ongoing water issues remain unresolved, school officials announced.

In a letter to parents and guardians, Principal Vanessa Garraway stated that the decision was necessary due to the continued disruption. “Unfortunately, our ongoing water issues have not yet been resolved, and as a result, we must transition to virtual learning,” the letter read.

Garraway stressed that students are still expected to participate fully in their lessons. “Please ensure that your child understands this is NOT a free day,” she wrote. “We are continuing with regular instruction, just in an online format. LIVE sessions will be conducted, and students are expected to log in, participate, and engage fully in their lessons.”

The school urged parents to support the transition by ensuring students attend classes and complete their coursework. “We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that your child logs in and engages fully in their lessons,” the letter continued.

No timeline was given for when in-person learning will resume, but Garraway assured parents that updates would be provided as more information on the repair process becomes available. “We understand that this is an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we navigate this situation,” she said.
