First Day of School at Ludlow Early Learning Center


The Ludlow Early Learning Center opened for its inaugural class of preschool students on Monday! Students and their families lined up outside the building for the first day of school, and were excited to see their classroom and make new friends. The parking lot was paved prior to the start of school. Gilbane Building Company is working on various other punch list items at Ludlow, including the north vestibule addition.

Ongoing Partial Demolition at Woodbury


The pool, gym and west wing of Woodbury have been demolished. The east wing will be demolished in the coming weeks. The center of the building, which was built in 1918, will be retained and renovated. Mesh and graphics for the construction fence will be installed shortly. Woodbury will reopen in Fall 2027 as the new Middle Years Building for Grades 6-8.
