"If it is not possible or reasonable for your child to attend school because of the flooding, please notify the school at your convenience this week. If you have needs that we can help meet, please let us know. Above all, stay safe. Our students, parents and staff are always our number one priority," the school said in a press release.
As of Monday evening, the Brazos River appeared to reach its crest at the Rosharon gauge.
River water overflowed from the river just north of the Harris Reservoir and into the Oyster Creek watershed. The level of Oyster Creek at the Dow pump station off 2004 at the back of the Brazos Mall is still low at 5.95 feet. Officials say this is well below capacity.
