Notes from the Superintendent

It is pretty apparent when you drive by our school that our construction project is in full swing. The work in front involves construction of a three-story addition containing science and general education classrooms, a new high school library, a new health center, and new middle and high school offices. What you can’t see from driving by on Broadway is the work going on behind the school where the steel framework for our new auditorium and high school gym will soon be erected.

The Washington Irving School project has been scaled back in order to keep projected costs within our overall budget. The existing building will be renovated and reconfigured to allow two grade levels to spread out in the space currently occupied by three grade levels. Much of this work will have to wait until the middle school expansion is completed and the sixth grade can move up to join the 7^th and 8^th grade in that building. This is anticipated to take place in the spring or summer of 2009.
