Updates as of December 2, 2024

We are writing to keep you informed of important updates regarding the upcoming construction phases at our school. As we move forward with these plans, we want to ensure that all families are well-informed and have a chance to ask questions and share any concerns.

Interim Housing for Grades 3-5

Our district has indicated that, for the duration of this construction year, students in grades 3-5 will temporarily attend Birney Elementary. This will provide the space and resources necessary for their continued learning while we work on improvements to our campus.

TK - Grade 2

For our younger students in grades TK through 2, they will remain on campus throughout the construction phases. We are committed to maintaining a safe and productive learning environment for them, and will be taking extra precautions to minimize disruptions and ensure their daily routines are as smooth as possible.

Ongoing Updates in Our Parent Newsletter

To keep everyone up to date, we will be dedicating a section of our monthly parent newsletter to construction updates. This will include any changes to schedules, safety protocols, and other important information. We encourage you to review these updates regularly.
