Stafford County, Va. — While students at Ferry Farm Elementary School will have classes Thursday, it won’t be at their regular school building.
Unlike on Wednesday when classes at the school were canceled, students and staff of Ferry Farm will have class at 9 a.m. at Dixon Smith Middle School at 503 Deacon Road in Stafford County. Buses will run their regular routes, and students who normally get rides to school should be dropped off at Dixon Smith Middle School by 8:40 a.m.
“The Kindergarten and First Grade students and staff will be transported next door to Grafton Village Elementary School where they will spend their day. All students and staff in grades two through five will remain at Dixon Smith Middle School, said Stafford County Public Schools spokeswoman Valerie Cottongim.
Students will be dismissed from Dixon Smith Middle School at 3:30 p.m. Those who attend the YMCA before and after school program at Ferry Farm can be dropped off at the Grafton Village Elementary YMCA program, said Cottongim.
Parents with questions regarding Ferry Farm students may call 658-6000 beginning at 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning.
Stafford schools announced early Wednesday classes at the school would be canceled after the heating system failed and that it would be impossible for officials to find a way to heat the building. Cottongim said more damage was found today at Ferry Farm Elementary but was not clear how extensive it was.
