Some schools in D.C. and Maryland remained without power Monday night due to Hurricane Irene.
All D.C. public schools will be in session Tuesday, including two that still lack power.
Because of the continued lack of electricity Monday, alternate locations have been chosen for the Oyster Building of Oyster-Adams Bilingual School and Thomas Elementary School. Parents should drop off and pick up their children at those schools, but if those schools are still without power:
- Oyster’s pre-kindergarten through second grade students will be taken to the Adams campus,
- Oyster third graders will be taken to Marie Reed Elementary,
- Thomas pre-kindergarten through second grade will be relocated to Kenilworth Elementary, and
- Thomas third through fifth grades will be relocated to Cesar Chavez Public Charter School.
In Prince George’s County, Md., all schools with power will open. A decision has yet to be made about these nine schools that still have no electricity:
- Apple Grove Elementary School
- Benjamin Foulois Creative and Performing Arts
- Brandywine Elementary School
- Concord Elementary School
