News From Marion Jordan Elementary
Information from Mrs. Grosch
I hope this mid summer communication finds you and your family healthy and well. We are all facing the unique challenges of a summer vacation without the myriad of options we had so casually taken for granted in summers past. With a bit of creativity, my family is enjoying time on the bike paths in the area, gardening, and teaching our dog new tricks.
If you have driven past school recently, you may not be able to tell all that is happening on the north side of the building - it is completely opened up and renovations are well underway. The main entrance, lobby, and office areas are "gone"; with new footings going in to support the walls of what will become the new interior space. This is a major undertaking and we can't wait to see the completed project!
There has been so much in the news this summer as well as recent information shared by CCSD15. We recognize families have many concerns and questions. Rest assured that we continue to work hard with MJ colleagues and CCSD15 administrators to figure out the best plan to have your children return to school safely. At this point in time, we thought it would be prudent to give you an update on things we have been working on to get ready for the start of the 20-21 school year.
