Students may have gotten a break for the holidays, but construction work around the district continued.
Despite the wet weather, projects are moving forward. Here’s how the projects are progressing.
Creekside Elementary
The district’s newest elementary school is scheduled to be completed on January 15. The building has permanent power and a water treatment plant, and all interior work is finished. The road has been widened; the parking lot is paved, and the landscaping is complete.
Furniture has been placed around the school, and teachers have already begun setting up their classrooms. The first official day for students will be January 22.
Central East Middle School
Work on the middle school located on Henpeck Lane is progressing.
The contractor is in the process of widening the roadway in front of the school.
Workers are laying brick on the building exterior of several areas. Concrete slabs are set on the first floor and nearly completed on the second floor. All mechanical, electrical and plumbing has been set under the slabs and is continuing to be set in the walls and ceiling. Work on the interior walls is also continuing.
Roof work has begun in certain areas of the school.
The expected substantial completion date is June 28.
Page Middle School
Page Middle’s Phase One project is complete, and the new building is being used by students and staff. There is still some site work in the front parking lot that will be addressed.
Phase Two of the Page Middle project has received the notice to proceed. The contractor has materials onsite to build temporary walls around the construction zone. Teachers and students have been moved to the new building, and the existing building will be demolished.
