Dear families,

As we prepare to pause and enjoy the winter break, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on what connects us as a school district and a broader school community. While the world around us may sometimes feel divided—by differing beliefs, opinions, and values—our community is bound by so much more that unites us. (more…)

The construction crew has nearly completed the excavation work required to prepare the site for the foundation of the new building. They are now excavating to lay out underground utilities and services, including sewer, water, electrical, and data lines. 

At the same time, the crew has been putting up concrete shear walls that provide seismic restraint and will limit building movement during earthquakes. All shear walls should be in place by mid-January, and at that time, structural steel work will begin. The steel superstructure, pictured below, will connect to the shear walls and provide support for the floors, walls, and roof.
