Dear Assumption Family,
It has been a long and trying process, but the reconstruction of the lower floor of our school is quickly drawing to a conclusion. The students, staff, and families have been very patient through this process and for that I thank you.
Over the next week the painting and flooring contractors will put their final touches on the job. We will then install the new lockers and the move in process will begin. Our hope is to resume classes and lunch service downstairs by the week after Thanksgiving.
I always like to see the brightside in all situations, this flood renovation has offered us some opportunities to utilize new spaces to better serve
our students. The library has been expanded to add more than 200 square feet of previously unused space. New shelving, seating, and storage will allow for a greater variety of activities in the space.
Our Innovations Lab will move downstairs to the room previously used for music classes. This will almost double the amount of space used by our makers
and future innovators during their Maker Space time.
Many of you have offered to help throughout this process. I informed you that the time will come to seek assistance. That time is now! Over the next week we will need help installing lockers and shelves, moving furniture and boxes to reinhabit the building. I will make specific requests through email, but if you are interested now, please email Jody Gourley at [email protected] and let her know your availability during the day this week and I will reach out as needed.
Together, we will make our lower level better than ever!
Many Blessings,
Steven J. Santoli
Principal
