Facility Updates
WE'RE STARTING THE COUNTDOWN: In a little over ten weeks, we'll be welcoming students into the new Meadow View Elementary School. Outside, all of the curbs have been poured and the binder course of asphalt will be complete on the entire site by the end of next week. Final surface paving is scheduled for early next month. Site restoration is well underway, with the majority of top soil being put back in place. Site landscaping and seeding will begin shortly, and will continue through completion as weather permits. On the first floor, the gym floor striping and sealing is complete and bleachers in the gym will be installed next week. Carpet is complete in the breakout spaces in the 4k-5k wing, making this area substantially complete. Painting and cabinet installation continues in the Grade 1-4 wing. Final wood installation on the social stair is underway and will be complete by the end of next week. Concrete grinding, staining, and polishing in the cafeteria commons area has started and will be completed by the middle of July.
