Good afternoon Surf City Families, We want to inform you of a natural gas leak near the back of the building which has resulted in the evacuation of students and staff outside of the front of campus. We understand that safety is of the utmost concern, and we want to reassure you that all necessary precautions have been taken. Fire crews are on scene. Due to the current situation there will be a delay that will affect car riders and buses. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we work to address this issue swiftly and safely. Thank you
