Heavy rains flooded Dehesa Elementary School in El Cajon, Jan. 7, 2016.

An East County primary school that closed Thursday for repairs due to damage from last week's powerful storms will reopen Tuesday.

Dehesa Elementary School east of El Cajon sustained major flood damage to buildings and grounds as heavy rain deluged the region.

Administrators strived to get the kindergarten-through-eighth grade campus back in shape as quickly as possible in order to "restore normalcy for students and minimize lost learning time," said Nancy Hauer, superintendent of the Dehesa Elementary School District.
