Subject: Important Update on Roy-Area Schools and Fiber Optic Outage

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Thank you for your patience as we navigate the ongoing fiber optic outage in the Roy area. We are pleased to share that repair work is progressing, and two schools—Roy High and Sandridge Jr. High—are now back online. These schools will resume their regular schedules tomorrow.

Earlier this morning, Midland Elementary was affected by the repair process and went offline. However, thanks to the dedication of our incredible educators, support staff, district and tech services team, and Principal Vorwaller, the school day continued successfully. At this time, Midland remains offline.

Lumen (CenturyLink) has indicated that repairs should be completed this evening. We are cautiously optimistic that the remaining affected schools—Roy Jr. High, Freedom Elementary, Roy Elementary, Hooper Elementary, Municipal Elementary, and Midland Elementary—will be back online and ready for classes tomorrow.

To keep you informed, we will send an update by 5:45 AM tomorrow via Remind and post it on the district website. This message will confirm the status of the affected schools. If repairs are not fully completed, we will continue prioritizing safety and building security, which could result in a canceled, shortened, or delayed start to the school day. Our goal remains to have all impacted schools open for instruction.

Please check for our update in the morning, and thank you for your understanding and support.

Sincerely,

WSD Superintendency
