St. George School will be delayed 2 hours today. Today is a half-day teacher workshop and we will now be dismissing students at 1 p.m., instead of 12:30 p.m. By dismissing at 1 p.m., this will count as a school day and not require a make-up day at the end of the year.

Around 9 a.m., the school was evacuated due to a strange smell near the main office. The St. George Fire Department responded quickly and identified the issue as a fluorescent light ballast that was overheating. The problem was addressed and students returned to school.
