PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Morningside Community School will be closed Friday, May 8, because of flooding in the building.

According to a post on the Pittsfield Public Schools' Facebook page, a pipe that was damaged in a student bathroom caused a "large amount of water" to seep into carpets and other areas near the bathroom.

The post doesn't say how the pipe was damaged but that the flooding occurred shortly before dismissal on Thursday.

Because of the water damaged, the school will be closed Friday so the affected spaces can be properly cleaned and dried.

The post states the school's custodial team will be preparing the building so students and staff can safely return on Monday, May 11, and that additional information will be posted as needed.

All other schools will be open for regularly scheduled classes.
