MIDVALE, Utah — Parents and guardians of Midvalley Elementary students are being told that their students will be remote learning following a power outage at the school.
According to an email sent to parents, the power outage happened late Sunday night when someone vandalized and damaged an electrical box on campus. The utility company is working to restore power but the repairs needed are extensive and the school is currently without heat.
The school tells FOX 13 News that they do have surveillance footage of the incident and UPD is working to find the suspect that did it. Fire officials with Unified Fire were also called to the scene at 2:40 a.m. for a fire on a large utility box.
"Midvalley students will be expected to engage in learning today with their teachers who will be reaching out to students with learning expectations," the district wrote in an email.
Because the transition to remote learning is unexpected assignments and activities might not be posted until later this morning.
Students needing nutrition services may pick up a sack breakfast and lunch at Union Middle, at 615 East 8000 S., Sandy between 9:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
