OGDEN, Utah — Officials with the Ogden School District have announced that classes at one school in the district have been canceled Monday following a break in a water line. The impacted school is Polk Elementary School.

In an update provided later in the day, the district informed parents that the building is safe and there is no structural damage. Crews have repaired the leak, and the water damage was isolated to the northern portion of the school on the first and second levels.

There is still "extensive" work to be done in cleaning up the water damage, which was largely in the preschool and kindergarten classrooms. Because of that, the district said preschool and kindergarten classrooms will be canceled again Tuesday.

Parents of preschoolers and kindergartners will be contacted with more information. All other grades will resume class on Tuesday with the regular schedule.

The district added that it expects the schedule to be completely back to normal by next Monday after Thanksgiving break.
