Construction Update
It is a sprint to the finish for construction projects! The new addition in the front of the building which houses the offices and two floors of new classrooms will be ready for the first day of school. All student drop off and student parking will be in the front, with all students entering through our new secured entrance. Only busses will access the back parking lot, and that lot will be staff parking only.
We plan to be in the new gym area during the second week of school, September 14th. Construction will continue throughout this school year transitioning the old gym to band, choir, orchestra and a fitness center. The former office area is being transformed into new art rooms.
The front parking lot will be completed on August 24th and the back parking lot will be completed on August 28th.
Here is the most recent weekly construction update.
