Construction Update
Below are several updates regarding the renovation project starting this Spring at Salford Hills.
- The first phase of our renovation project will begin in March with construction setup of equipment, construction trailers, and materials needed for the project. This will almost entirely happen behind the building on the playground. Fencing will be mounted into the blacktop to separate the construction area from the student play area. The expected time frame to complete the new addition section of the building will be between March and January 2026. Construction for the remainder of the 24-25 school year will be focused on the addition project outside of the school. This will affect our parent pick-up and drop-off lines. Please see below for those changes.
- The second phase of construction will happen over the summer and run from June until August. This phase of construction will focus on moving the office to the front of the building, the first grade hallway, nurses suite, and faculty room. This phase is expected to be completed over the summer and ready for students to enter into newly renovated first grade classrooms for the start of the 25-26 school year.
- The third phase of construction will focus on the second grade hallway. This phase will happen after the addition project is completed, and run from approximately January 2026 through May 2026.
- Updates will be given throughout the project. The whole renovation project for all of Salford Hills is expected to be completed by January of 2027. Construction questions can be send to Mr. Burns (tburns@soudertonsd.org)
Parent Pick-up and Drop-off Location Change Due to Construction
This New Parent Pick-up/Drop-off will begin in March
Due to the construction of the addition, the location of the parent pick-up/drop-off for morning and afternoon car riders will need to be relocated. Please see the map below that shows the new parent pick-up/drop-off line which will be in effect throughout the construction process starting in March. Once the construction is completely finished in January 2027, parent pick-up/drop-off will resume in the rear of the building.
