If no one is home to receive the Way student, they will be sent back to the building and supervised until someone is available to pick them up. All after school, evening, and athletic events are canceled for Lahser and Way today.

Roughly 400 customers in Bloomfield lost power shortly after 8 a.m. today, and the estimated restoration time is between 11 a.m.-1 p.m., according to the DTE Outage Map. Most of the affected customers are in the area east of Telegraph Road on both sides of Long Lake Road.
