A watermain break forced the closure of a Saskatoon elementary school on Thursday.

In a news release sent shortly before noon on Thursday, Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools said classes at Bishop Roborecki School on Pearson Place were cancelled for the rest of the day due to the watermain break in the area.

The Greater Saskatoon Catholic Schools says the city crews are working to fix the issue and expects water service to be restored for classes to resume Friday.

In an update sent Thursday afternoon, school officials say the school will resume as regularly scheduled on Friday.

The school will remain under a drinking water advisory when students return, and staff and students are encouraged to bring a full water bottle.

Drinking water will also be available at the school.
