END OF THE YEAR HALL MONITORS
CONSTRUCTION ON THE THIRD FLOOR
The 3rd floor is going to get all new floor tile. This includes hallways and classrooms. There will not be new flooring in the 2 classrooms that were replaced last year.
The project will begin on May 23 through the end of June. The 3rd floor will not be accessible during this time. Also, the custodians will need time to wax and put classrooms back together. Third floor teachers will need to “tag” all of their furniture and desks. I will email the schedule once I receive it from the contractors.
