Starting this week about half the previous number of students will be attending classes in the Deweyville High School than started the school year. That is good news because the portable buildings bought by the Deweyville Independent School District will now be used for classes by the elementary school grades. Classes started today in the portable buildings.
Flooding in March caused the closing of the Deweyville Elementary School. All grades were housed in the Deweyville High School for the last two months of last school year. The same was true for the first three weeks of this school year as all classes were conducted in the high school.
Superintendent Kevin Clark said temporary buildings have been brought to the high school campus to house about 300 students in kindergarten through fifth grades. Located behind the Deweyville football stadium the portable buildings were fitted with electricity and plumbing during the summer and the first three weeks of the school year to make them ready for the teachers and students.
