SASD e-Newsletter: January 2026

Thank you, SASD families, for your support in rebuilding and remodeling Farnsworth and Urban Middle Schools! The middle school projects remain on schedule, with most interior designs complete. Virtual walk-throughs of both schools are below. Monthly project reports and preliminary renderings are available on our website.

The anticipated timeline calls for construction at Farnsworth to begin in June 2026. At Urban, some site demolition may begin in the spring, though the majority of construction activity is also expected to start in June 2026.

One of the strengths of the SASD is the variety of opportunities and choices offered to families. Every student is guaranteed enrollment in their neighborhood school, which is determined by the student’s home address. Through School Choice, families also have the opportunity to apply to attend a different school in the district.

Families interested in applying are encouraged to complete the application by February 8 for the most availability.
