The smell of smoke in a classroom May 9 at Washington Reid (K-1) (Pattie ES annex) caused staff to pull the fire alarm at dismissal.
Buses were already on campus, so the children were loaded on the buses and sent home without their backpacks (annex only).
Pattie ES dismissal was as usual. Parents are being informed.
The Fire Department responded and gave the all clear to re-enter the building.
The alarm was pulled by a staff member who smelled an odor caused by installation of an air conditioning unit on the roof.
