The Capital Project construction is going smoothly and incredible progress is being made daily. The high school wing has been renovated and we are so excited for students to finally see their beautiful new space!
Over April break, students in grades 3, 4 5, and high school students will be moving to the newly renovated high school. For elementary classes, this move will be temporary. They are moving so the construction team can begin renovations on the older JFK building. By the beginning of the next school year, most students will be in their permanent classrooms!
We wanted to make you aware of some important changes and information:
The new Main Entrance for the entire school district will be the side entrance near the playgrounds. The current main entrance facing the main parking lot will be closed for renovations.
Student drop-off and pick-up will not change. Please continue to use our current procedures for dropping off and picking up students at the loop in front of the building.
George Street is not to be used for drop-off
or pick-up. That street is very narrow and can get easily congested. This prohibits access to emergency vehicles into the street and causes other safety issues.
The WMHS entrance will move to the rear of the building, facing the soccer field. Students in grades 6-12 will enter the tunnel through the back of the building. The fence will be open from 7:55 – 8:10am and from 2:50-3:10pm only. At other times this entrance will be closed and students will need to enter through the new Main Entrance.
All visitors must also use this new Main Entrance to gain access to the building.
Students who arrive late will use the new Main Entrance.
- JFK students who arrive late must check in with the new JFK main office space in room E140, inside the first-grade pod.
- WMHS students who arrive late must check in with the new WMHS main office in room A183, off the old gym lobby.
Thank you for talking about these changes with your children so they feel prepared coming back from break. Let them know that we appreciate their patience and flexibility as we wrap up the final few months of the construction project.
