To
Families and Staff at the Daniel Webster School:
We
wanted to take a moment to inform you that there will be plumbing work done at
the DWS to help alleviate some of the issues that have arisen over the first
part of the school year. This work will
begin over the Holiday Vacation and will continue into early January, once
school resumes.
The
area where the work will take place is not adjacent to any classrooms and is
focused on the side hallway leading to the boiler room. To get to the impacted pipes, a small area of
tiles will have to be removed from the floor.
Due to the age of the tiles, there is trace amounts of asbestos in the
adhesive that holds them down. Because
of that, there are extra precautions that will take place when the tiles are
removed. That work will be done over
vacation and will adhere to strict abatement requirements. An industrial hygienist will supervise the
removal.
We
are hoping to schedule the remainder of the plumbing work for the first or
second week of January. Any work that
creates an abundance of noise will be done during non-school hours. The work that is done during the school day
should not create a disruption to our learning environments. At all times, that work will be cordoned off
from the rest of the school and again, and the work will only be taking place
on the side hallway leading to the boiler room, away from all classes. Throughout the project, we will work with the
contractors to ensure a safe and clean working environment.
We
hope this gives you a better understanding of the work we have scheduled for
the DWS, but do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional
questions.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey
