Tomorrow, Fowlerville Elementary School will welcome our K-2 students into the new building for the first time. The first couple of weeks will be a soft start as staff are familiarizing students with the new building. Academics will continue, while also practicing safety drills in their new spaces. The goal is to make sure students feel comfortable and confident in their new learning environment.
We want to thank our staff for making the move to the new building so easy. In addition, we need to thank our maintenance and custodial staff for all they have done to assist teachers and help prepare the building for students. Finally, a special thanks to the Fowlerville VFW for donating flags for all of our new classrooms.
As a reminder, with the opening, we have new traffic patterns for pick-up and drop-off. We appreciate your cooperation in following these new procedures so we can keep all of our students and staff safe as they enter and exit their buildings daily.
Following our K-2 students and staff departure at H.T. Smith Elementary, the construction team will immediately begin remodeling the current Kindergarten and first grade classrooms to make way for the Little Glad Early Childhood Center's move into the building slated for late this summer. Renovations will occur to the main entrance, office, and former Kindergarten and first grade classrooms. In addition, upgrades to the electrical and HVAC systems including air conditioning will also take place. After Little Glads' moves into the H.T. Smith Building, the construction team will begin the demolition of Munn. These renovations are made possible by the generous support of our community with the passage of the November 2021 $41.9 million dollar bond.
