The Virgin Islands Department of Education, St. Thomas–St. John District, is notifying parents and guardians that both Joseph A. Gomez Elementary School and Yvonne Milliner-Bowsky Elementary School will be dismissed immediately due to a loss of electrical service.
School operations at both campuses cannot continue without electricity. Lunch has been provided to all students. Parents and guardians are asked to pick up their children as soon as possible.
For students who utilize school bus transportation, services will be provided to ensure they arrive home safely.
This decision has been made to protect the health, safety, and well-being of all students, faculty, and staff, as essential school functions cannot operate without power. The VIDE appreciates the cooperation and understanding of all families during this necessary adjustment.
