Notes:: In addition to creating classrooms in the basements of the Gymnasium and Woodward Hall, the town of Bridgewater provided space in the high school science laboratories for Normal School students to utilize. Classes resumed January 5, 1925 - less than 4 weeks after the fire. Alternative classroom space for students of the Training School also had to be arranged. The nearby McElwain School was reorganized to accommodate two daily sessions of students. The McElwain students attended in the morning and the Training School students attended in the afternoons. Kindergarten classes were held in the basement of the Church of the New Jerusalem.
