OLMP Weekly Bulletin - September 30, 2022
PLAYGROUND UPDATE... South Parking Lot Closed Wednesday!!
Excavation has been started this weekend on the new playground! This will minimally impact the HS Volleyball tournament as part of the parking lot will be barricaded for safety reasons.
We are expecting that the playground equipment will be arriving on semi-trailer Wednesday, October 5th. Unfortunately, there is no flexibility with this time so we will be closing the South Parking lot for the entire day. HS students will need to find alternative parking and our regular parent drop-off/pick-up will not be available this day. We have suggested to our HS students that they could alternatively park in the Max McLean parking lot East of the school and walk in from the back of the schoolyard. We apologize for this inconvenience. This date is subject to change-updates will be provided as necessary.
This will allow the company to safely unload equipment and fence the area. The playground supplier will begin assembling the playground equipment. The timeline on this will be approximately two weeks, but this will be weather dependent. Once the playground installation is complete, site work and fall surfacing, border, etc. will be completed. Exciting news!
