 We're excited to share a major milestone in our construction project! This week, the roofing was added to our new addition, bringing the project closer to reality. This significant step allows us to truly visualize the incredible new spaces that are coming soon!
We are on track for the delivery of this next phase before Spring Break, which will provide much-needed, high-quality spaces, including:
- A New Main Office and Main Entrance
- A new SACC (School Age Child Care) space
- A Brand New Addition, featuring ten modern classroom spaces
We know that ongoing renovation and construction continues to demand daily adjustments, and we sincerely appreciate the extraordinary patience and flexibility of our students, staff, and families as we navigate these changes. This next phase will be a wonderful reward for the perseverance everyone has shown, and we can't wait to share it with you.
With the current level of construction, safety remains our top priority. Please be especially mindful of student access to the school and playground areas after hours and on weekends. Due to active construction zones and heavy equipment on the property, students must be monitored and supervised by an adult at all times when on school grounds outside of the regular school day. Your cooperation in keeping our campus safe for everyone is vital.
We look forward to connecting with you and your family next Friday during our annual Hallowingo event! This is always a well-attended event, so please take advantage of presale offers for tickets to avoid long lines on the night.
Thank you once again for your unwavering support as we continue Strengthening Minds and Building Futures for our students.
Ms. Sloan and Ms. Hutchinson
