Students Left Building

Today at Pine Glen Elementary School a smell was detected that was of concern. Staff and students left the building for a short time until the Burlington Fire Department determined it was safe to return to school. The Burlington Fire Department and faculties staff from Burlington determined that the smell was coming from a locksmith grinding a new lock. Locksmith work of this nature will no longer be conducted during school hours.
