DE PERE, WI (WTAQ)- De Pere School District is still investigating to see if they ended up with roof damage from the weekend storm, but they are keeping a positive attitude as they make adjustments.
Shoveling snow, checking the structure and looking through blueprints, De Pere Superintendent Ben Villarruel says it is all being done this week to find out if the roofs are damaged.
“There are calculations regarding how much of a load the roof can take, and it is designed for it.”
The question is if this last weekend’s blizzard was too much snow.
“It is built to deflect or bend when there is a heavy amount on it.”
He said this week, the trusses moved back up in place, which he believes is a good sign.
In the meantime, the gym is not useable, and he says that means staff and students that use the gym have had to audible through the week.
“It is good for us to learn how to be flexible and meet the challenges that face us.”
He says physical education classes have had to adjust to not being able to be outside and not being able to use the gym. This week, ping pong tables were set up in the commons.
De Pere has moved Saturday Night Post Prom to the Middle School to keep all activities going.
