Classes canceled on Monday and Tuesday, but as pipe contained clean water, no health hazards are obvious.
Students at Bloomfield Hills Lone Pine Elementary School will stay home on Monday and Tuesday while crews work to repair a ruptured heating pipe, school officials said in an email to parents. A heating pipe in a radiator burst sometime this weekend, according to Principal Mary Hillberry, causing clean tap water which was steaming hot to flood the school. Bloomin' Kids preschools, which are operated at the same site, were closed Monday but are scheduled to reopen on Tuesday morning. School on Monday had been called off early in the morning as crews worked to repair the pipe, dry and treat the carpets, and dehydrate the air, Hillberry said.

The final sessions for each current grade level affected by next year's merger of Andover and Lahser high schools begin tonight.
Though second semester just got under way in the Bloomfield Hills Schools, there's already a significant level of focus from parents, teachers and administrators on the fall of 2013 and the official start of the new Bloomfield Hills High School.

The district's transition plan has the current Lahser High School housing students in 10th through 12th grades in what will become known as the 'main' Bloomfield Hills High School campus. Ninth grade students will be at Hickory Grove, or the 9th grade campus. To help parents navigate the transition to the new high school facility, which won’t be completed on the current Andover site until 2015, the Bloomfield Hills Schools scheduled a series of forums broken up by student …
