When students start at the three new schools, they will write down their impressions of the new building and reflect. The students’ comments will be posted in the buildings for the public to view.
From the district:
The new elementary schools contain infrastructure that supports 21st century technology, as well as other features that will improve the classroom experience and advance learning and skill acquisition. The facilities comply with Americans with Disabilities Act standards and boast environmentally sustainable design, improved building systems and integrated security systems.
Designed by Schrader Group Architecture LLC, each school consists of two wings connected by a common gym and cafeteria. One wing serves kindergarten through second grade. The second wing serves students grades three through six.
