FACILITIES & GROUNDS
PROJECT UPDATES
Air Conditioning
This summer we continued with the installation of A/C with the goal of having air conditioning in all district buildings by the 24/25 school year.
We are excited to share that now in addition to Leman Middle School, Currier and Wegner now have air conditioning throughout the building, and Indian Knoll is scheduled for completion in October.
Preschool Program at Pioneer School
Once the decision was made to move the District's preschool program to Pioneer Elementary School in two phases, the Facilities & Grounds department began planning. This summer a new playground specific for preschool students was installed at Pioneer.
Shout Out of Thanks!
We would like to give a huge "Shout Out" to our amazing custodial staff who were busy cleaning, sanitizing, and moving furniture and classroom items from the preschool classrooms in Winfield and Trinity to Pioneer School during and after construction this summer.
Our schools are looking their best just in time to welcome staff, students, and parents back!
TECHNOLOGY
STUDENT DEVICE UPDATE!
Each student in kindergarten through eighth grade will have an assigned device, however, beginning this year all student devices will remain at school every day.
In the instance of an anticipated emergency school closing day/s, students will be sent home with their assigned devices to participate in eLearning.
