Water is back on at our campuses, and we will be returning to school tomorrow, Tuesday, October 6, on our regular schedule. We are under a boil water notice until cleared by Anderson Water Company. We would appreciate your help in this by sending your child to school with a filled water bottle. We will have water stations on each campus with clean water for students and staff to access during the school day.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Good afternoon Owl Family,

Anderson-Shiro CISD will be closed Monday, October 5, due to Anderson Water Company making repairs to their system. The repairs will require water service to be unavailable to our campuses during the school day preventing our campuses from having the water access necessary to safely operate. Repairs are expected to be completed by Monday evening, and we anticipate returning to our normal school schedule on Tuesday, October 6. We will continue to monitor the progress of the repairs and will communicate with families and staff if anything changes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
