DELPHOS, OH (WLIO) - Delphos St. John's School officials continue the fire clean-up and update parents on what school will look like next week.
The fire occurred at around 2 a.m. on October 21st.
In a Facebook video update, Father Jeff Walker says that school will be in session on Monday, October 28, 2024, as the air and building have been deemed safe, but there will be changes to the school day. Elementary and junior high students will be physically back inside the classroom on Monday, while high school students will not return to the building and attend class via remote learning at home all next week.Â

Father Walker says since the fire occurred in the maintenance area, which houses the heating and plumbing centers, a full capacity of students and staff cannot be supported in the building all at once. Father Walker also adds that traffic patterns around both the school and church will be different during school drop-off and dismissal with signs posted.
