Ship Notes
Scotts Ridge Elementary Newsletter
March 7, 2018 SPECIAL EDITION
We are GROWING!
Ahoy Sailor Parents! We know that you have lots of questions about the construction that is going on here at Scotts Ridge and we wanted to take a few minutes to update you on the happenings with a few FAQs!
What are they building?
The "Marina" is a pod of 6 classrooms. There is a set of restrooms at the end of the interior hall so students do not have to travel between the two buildings during the day for restroom breaks. Each classroom will have a door that will open to the main hallway. The main hallway will have an exit at each end of the building to allow for safe evacuation, should the need arise. Additionally, teachers will have the ability to control the temperature within the unit - something that we do not have the capability to do in our main building.
Who will be located in the "Marina" when it opens next school year?
We honestly don't know yet. WCPSS is still processing student transfer requests and have not given us our teacher allotments for 2018-2019. Until then we are not 100% sure how many teaching positions we will have at each grade level. Our expectation is that we will know who is going to be in these classrooms this summer. As soon as we know something, we will let you know through a summer Ship Note.
What safety procedures will be in place for the "Marina"?
Just like our main building, the "Marina" will have a badge entry system. Only individuals with a badge that is coded for Scotts Ridge will be able to access the inside of this building. Our "Marina" will also be held to the same Fire Code standards and will be inspected every 6 months by the Wake County Fire Marshal's Department - just like our main building. In addition, the "Marina" will be equipped with our intercom phone system that will allow two way communication between the front office and each individual classroom.
We have a beautiful campus, how will the presence of the "Marina" impact the aesthetics of Scotts Ridge?
Great news - it's going to get a renovation inside and out! As soon as the buildings are settled and in place, WCPSS will begin the beautification process. We have been assured that this refurbishment will help the "Marina" to fit in nicely with the rest of our campus. This will include interior and exterior paint, new flooring, and landscaping around the building!
