Virtual learning, no free day- Principal Garraway
While students will not be required to come into the school for face-to-face classes, they have been advised that it is not a free day.
“We are continuing with regular instruction, just in an online format. LIVE sessions will be conducted, and students are expected to log in, participate, and engage fully in their lessons,” Principal Garraway wrote in the letter.
Parents have also been asked for their support in ensuring their children log in, participate and engage fully in their lessons.
“We understand that this is an inconvenience, and we appreciate your patience and cooperation as we navigate this situation,” the letter added.
She assured parents that updates would be provided as more information about the repair process is received.

'Major water situation' in RT forces early dismissal of ESHS
ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI- Students of Elmore Stoutt High School (ESHS) just returning from mid-term break have found themselves with an extra half-day today, Monday, February 24, 2025.
Principal Vanessa K. Garraway informed parents via a letter this morning that due to a "major water situation" in the entire Road Town area, "we will be dismissing school today at 12:45 pm."
Garraway said school buses were notified of this schedule change and would be available to transport students who usually take the bus.
"For parents/guardians picking up their children, we kindly ask that you collect your child/children by 1:20 pm. Students will be allowed to collect their lunch from school vendors," the letter to parents stated.
It is unclear what exactly is the water situation and the Water & Sewerage Department (W&SD) has not issued any notice of a water disruption.

Rushing the brush, and other mismanaging our finances is sure proof of political mediocre leadership.
It means developing and implementing a water utility ( water, wastewater, drainage) master plan. The BVI has a backlog of water infrastructure but lacks the financial resources to effectively and comprehensively invest in water infrastructure. The BVI needs to bite the bullet and prudently borrow to invest on water infrastructure and other capital projects needs, ie, roads, etc, following a national development and master plan(s). Enough talk, enough procrastination, enough bull shitting,,enough pussy footing around,,etc Leh us geh ah dun mehson. Get it done or suffer the wrath of the electorate at the polls.
