Power Outage at P.S./I.S. 217 (Roosevelt Island School)

Dear Families of P.S./I.S. 217,


Today ConEdison power outage caused the loss of electric power on the northern half of the Roosevelt Island, including the school.  The staff and the children were relocated, and returned back to school for the pick up at 2:50 p.m.  Many families have chosen to pick up their children earlier or couldn't make it to the school today.  We are truly sorry for the inconvenience it caused to the families.  The power has now being restored, and the school will resume on Tuesday, May 28th, after the Memorial Day weekend.
