The Road to 2020 Capital Improvement Project is well underway. Below is a list of the current progress for this week:

Track: We are pleased to announce that the track is now open for public use. We will still need to add the logos at a time in the future, but will advise when this will take place. As a reminder, only sneakers are allowed on the track; no cleats or heels allowed. Also, no beverages other than water are allowed on the track. Animals are also not allowed on the track surface.

Turf Field: We are providing access to the turf field for our student varsity athletes only. This is to allow our athletes practice time for their season. As a reminder, the turf field is not open to the community at this time. This means no member of the community should be on the field or walking their dogs around the field at this time. A grand opening will be announced in the future.

Pool: As a reminder, the pool locker room construction has been stalled due to a broken pipeline that needs to be repaired. Once the pipeline has been repaired, construction can resume. The anticipated completion date has been moved back to January 2019. We will keep you informed as more information becomes available.

4th and 5th Grade Wing: The computer lab in the 4th and 5th grade wing at the elementary school is delayed due to material installation challenges. Special materials are used in the computer labs to help keep the hardware cool and functioning at its highest level. The materials to be installed require a low humidity level, and unfortunately, the humidity level at this time has been uncooperative. We are waiting for a finalized completion date and will share as soon as it becomes available.

Middle School Locker Rooms: The Middle School Locker rooms will be complete on Friday, October 26. Our construction crew is in the final phase of construction.

While some of phase 1 is still being completed, phase 2 is on target. As with any construction project, there are always delays and unforeseeable challenges. We are frustrated with the impact some of these delays are creating for our students and staff, however, our number one priority is their safety. We want to ensure that these projects are completed correctly to provide a safe environment for our current students and the future ones to come.

Please visit the Gananda Website to view upcoming construction projects.
