Eno River Academy Families,
I hope you’re all doing well. Due to Tropical Storm Debby and the threat for flooding and high winds, we have made the decision to close Eno River Academy on Thursday, August 8th to ensure the safety of our students and staff.
Important Details:
Closure Date: Thursday, August 8th
Reason: High winds expected, potential for flooding and unsafe road conditions.
Impact: All classes, meetings, and school-related activities (including sports) are canceled for the day.
Please ensure that your child does not travel to school. We will keep you updated on any further developments and inform you of the reopening schedule as soon as possible.
For updates, please check our website, app, social media channels, and WRAL.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. We are so disappointed to push back the first day for students but must act with their safety at the forefront. Stay safe!
Best,
Lindsey Sealy
