This is a shared message concerning Grade 7, Grade 8.
SPMS Families, we have a gas smell at SPMS and we have evacuated all students and staff to Skillin. The fire department is here investigating and the gas company is on the way. Students are inside Skillin or on buses out front of Skillin staying warm.
Please do not come and get your child at this time- we are hopeful to return to school very soon!
