Flooding Closes Colonial School In Pelham

PELHAM, NY — Flooding resulting from the heavy rain Friday has caused the plumbing at Colonial School to stop functioning properly.

Schools Superintendent Cheryl Champ announced that dismissal will begin at the elementary school at 10:30 a.m.

All other Pelham schools will continue to operate on a regular schedule.

All parents/guardians picking up their children should report to the door at the upper playground via Pelhamdale Avenue due to flooding on Highbrook. Colonial students will remain under supervision of teachers/staff until they are picked up by their parent/guardian and students will be dismissed as parents/guardians arrive. Please understand that students will not be permitted to leave without an adult/guardian.

At this time, Playful Wonders will continue to operate according to the regular schedule, however transportation from Colonial will not be available. Please make other arrangements as necessary.

"Our facilities team is working to ensure that the plumbing issue is resolved quickly and we look forward to seeing all of our students return to school on Monday, October 2," Dr. Champ said. "Thank you for your flexibility and cooperation with today’s extreme weather. Stay safe and have a nice weekend."
