Caution! Work is Being Done!

As we gear up for the start of a brand new school year, you may notice a lot of construction activity happening across the district all summer long — and it’s all for a great cause! Thanks to the support of our community through the recent referendum, important facility improvements are well underway.


Work is being done on several school roofs, and exciting upgrades are happening at the Performing Arts Center (PAC) and other key areas. These projects are part of our long-term vision to create safer, more modern, and inspiring spaces for learning, creativity, and connection.


While crews are hard at work, so are we—preparing classrooms, planning lessons, and making sure everything is ready to give our students a strong, energized start to the school year.


We can’t wait to welcome everyone back. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we build for the future—together!
