What you need to know
The new section of the school includes collaborative learning rooms as well as outdoor spaces for third, fourth and fifth grade students, per the district.
The 25,000-square-foot expansion to the campus is funded by the district's 2018 bond, and construction costs were capped at $13.74 million by trustees in 2022.
About the project
The addition creates 16 classrooms with moveable partitions at the elementary school, campus staff shared in a November 2023 update.
The expansion eliminates the campus's need to house classrooms in portables. The addition is connected to the original campus structure by a covered corridor.
The project also covers expansion and updates to the existing cafeteria and gym.
