The time has finally arrived! After months of committee meetings, Open Houses, and countless discussions with architects and builders, we’re ready to see the fruits of our hard work.

Weather permitting, the Clarkson Building Project will officially begin the week of September 22nd. We kicked things off with a successful Groundbreaking Ceremony on Thursday, September 18th, which saw an excellent community turnout.

The project will be completed in phases:

• Phase 1: Construction of the new elementary building by the old gym.
   

• Phase 2: Addition of new offices by the gym entrance along with the enclosure of the area between the original building and the 2003 addition.   During this phase we will also have a light remodel of the original 1953 building.  This phase will start after Phase 1 has started.
   

• Phase 3: The tearing down of our current elementary building and building of a new shop along with several high school classrooms.   This is tentatively to start in May of 2026 at the end of the 2025-26 school year.  The completion date of Phase 3 is planned to be ready for the 2026-27 school year.
   

We’re excited to watch these plans take shape and look forward to sharing progress updates along the way!

Attention Parents!

Due to construction, please review the flow of traffic instructions for pickup and dropoff to ensure the safety and efficiency of our students. 

For student dropoff and pickup please use the WEST entrance off of the spur to enter and exit. Continue using the one-way flow of traffic by the bus drop off doors.

For students who walk to school, the north and northeast doors will not NOT be accessible, please use the lobby doors or west doors by the lunch room.  

If you have an elementary student who walks home, and are concerned about the construction zones, we can bus them one block from the school to the corner of 5th and Maple street. Reach out to your child's teacher if you choose this option. If you have any last minute changes, please let the office know by 3:00.

For high school students, they need to enter and exit the parking lot using the north drive and park on the rock. 

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

Here is the parking and drop off/ pick up plan for during construction.
