Dear DLRES Families,

As a follow-up to our previous communications regarding the fire at David L. Rainer Elementary School on Tuesday, July 28, 2026, we wanted to provide additional information following the completion of the investigation and facility assessments.

The investigation determined that the fire was electrical in nature. Emergency responders arrived quickly and successfully contained the fire. While the fire damage was limited to one area of the building, heavy smoke and soot affected multiple classrooms on the B Wing.

Professional remediation and restoration efforts began immediately and continue as crews work to safely clean and restore the affected areas. We are also finalizing plans for temporary classroom relocations and will share additional information with the families of impacted students as soon as those details are confirmed.

We look forward to welcoming our families to Open House this evening, Monday, August 3, 2026, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Families are welcome to arrive at any time during those two hours.

The safety and well-being of our students and staff remain our highest priority. We are grateful for your patience, understanding, and continued support as we work through this process. We will continue to keep you informed as restoration efforts progress.

Attention DLRES Families:

Late Tuesday evening, July 28, a fire occurred at David L. Rainer Elementary School. Emergency responders arrived promptly, and the fire was successfully contained. We are currently working with local officials and our insurance representatives to assess the full extent of the damage to the school and other property. At this time, the complete scope of the damage is still being determined.

Because the building is being assessed, Open House will be postponed. We are not yet able to provide a new date and time but will share an update with families on Friday, July 31, as more information becomes available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to ensure the safety of our students and staff. We appreciate your support and will continue to keep you informed.
