Dear Anderson Elementary Parents and Guardians, We want to provide an important update regarding the power outage affecting Anderson Elementary. ONCOR has located the issue and has informed us that the power to the campus will need to be completely turned off in order to make the necessary repairs. Unfortunately, the power will not be restored until after the school day today. Because of this, Anderson Elementary will need to dismiss students early and close for the remainder of the school day. We will provide additional information regarding the early dismissal process and transportation as soon as possible. Please watch for further communication from Lufkin ISD and Anderson Elementary. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work with ONCOR to safely resolve the issue and ensure the safety of our students and staff. Thank you, Cindy Stewart Principal

While electricity remains available throughout the school, the campus air conditioning units are temporarily down. ONCOR is actively working to resolve the issue, and power is currently expected to be fully restored around 12:30 p.m. Students and staff remain at school as normal, and there is no need for parents to make any changes to their plans at this time.
