T -minus18daysandcounting
before the first day of the 2016-
2017 school year. Summer at the
district has been long, hot, and
extremely busy!
Construction is
at its peak and there is a lot to
accomplishbeforeSeptember6th.
Over the next fewweeks, I will
be posting a lot of information
regarding theproject on theweb-
site and in the
Pennysaver
. You

Wolcott Street School and the Jr.
Sr. HighSchool pages.
Let me begin by saying, we
are on track to open school on
Tuesday, September 6th and our
buildings will be safe and ready
for learning!
If you know anything about
school construction, a lot comes
together in the final weeks of
summer. Also, as a reminder,
muchof theprojectwasdesigned
to be completed by December
2016, with portions of it taking
until June 2017. We feel quite
fortunate that we are, for the
most part, on track tomeet these
deadlines.
Here’s a brief update ofwhere
we are to date:
•
Site work:
(outside work)
at both buildings is complete
and will be ready for the new
traffic patterns beginning on the
6th. BothMrs.Messura andMr.
McArdlewill be sending out di-
ections for pick-upanddrop-off
at the newly constructed parent
loops at each school.
•
ClassroomsandCorridors:
Wolcott Street, Trigon andLapp
will be completed by the 6th,
however, there will be some
finishes such as flooring, ceiling
tiles, and some case work that
mayneed tobeaddedonceschool
starts. We knew that this would
be the case, and have planned
to have some temporary items
in place.
•
WSSKitchen:
The kitchen
will be 90% complete by the
6th, however, there are a few
pieces of equipment that won’t
be fully installed until later in
September. Our lunch menu is

brary and Cafeteria:

•
MainOffice in both build-
ings:
Theseofficesareveryclose
to completion, but our priority is
student space, so work on these
will resume when classroom
space is complete.
We are so excited about the
changes to thecampus. It isgoing
tobegreat!Naturally, inaproject
of this magnitude and in build-
ings that areovera100yearsold,
therewill be a few bumps in the
road, but thecontractorswehave
working here, along with our
construction management team,
architects, and our very own
maintenance crew, have done an
outstanding job!
We continue to ask for your
patience and understanding as
the work continues. We also
remind you that both campuses
are construction sites and ask
that you continue to refrain from
entering the work sites and that
youdonotwalkyour pets on the
playingfields.

ing along in the next fewweeks!
