MESA, AZ — Zaharis Elementary School in Mesa is closed due to storm damage from last week.
Mesa Public Schools announced last Wednesday that after reviewing the damage received at the school near Ellsworth and McKellips roads the campus will be closed until the roof is repaired.
Officials announced school will reopen on Wednesday, September 20.
School officials initially anticipated a return to class on Tuesday, September 19, but that date changed to allow teachers an extra day in the classroom to prepare for their students' return.
Any further updates will come from Mesa Public Schools.
Teachers contacted families to give at-home learning activities while the school is closed.
Mesa Public Schools requests that Zaharis families who need care fill out the form that was emailed to them this afternoon.
