Winter Break Updates and January Podcast:
Posted by Adam Spina on 1/15/2019 9:55:00 AM
Happy New Year! It has been great to have the buildings open after the holidays and have students back in school after some time away. The momentum of the District did not slow over the break, in fact, there was a lot accomplished.
We continued to make progress on our District Safety Goal, adding six new high definition cameras to Explorer Elementary. In collaboration with a school safety consultant, our technology department completed the installation of a new public address system at the high school. This will allow select staff to initiate pre-programmed emergency announcements from remote locations should that ever be needed. The Board of Education approved an agreement with an architectural firm which specializes in school safety renovations to begin work on the redesign of the high school main entrance. Drawings of the new design will be provided for review in the near future. At the preschool, a new AED was installed in the lobby outside of the office.
Our maintenance and custodial teams were extremely busy over the break. Floors were resurfaced, carpets cleaned, and extensive painting was done across all buildings, to include many student bathrooms and the elementary STEAM lab. There were repairs to select HVAC systems and drains.
Additional improvements include the installation of an announcement/upcoming events screen at the middle school, the construction of a new play structure at Discovery Elementary (thank you PTSA), and the demolition of the city storage building adjacent to the kindergarten playground.
