It has been brought to our attention that several people have received phone calls from a person stating they are affiliated with Delavan school district. This person is asking for monetary donations and asking if businesses would like to put their name on the back of a T-shirt to support the district. This person is not affiliated with the district. This is a scam.

Good morning.
We have a gas smell in the elementary building, so we are taking precaution, and evacuating all students to the Methodist Church. Please allow us to get students on busses and delivered to the Methodist Church before you come to pick your child up. We will be closing school for the day.

As part of this investigation, we are working closely with external professionals to assist in our investigation and data restoration. This investigation and process are ongoing. Our goal right now is to restore our full functionality and data. Although we are working to do this as quickly as possible, it may be a few days before full functionality can be restored. We appreciate your understanding as we work through this issue. We do not have any additional information to share at this time, but we will keep you apprised of relevant developments as the investigation continues.
Thank you for your patience.
