Building Progress:
Overall, the building is coming along! Just a couple updates:
- Classrooms: Kindergarten and 1st Grade classrooms are carpeted, painted, and have whiteboards in them. Smartboards will begin to be installed this week. The existing building was having flooring laid yesterday. There will be minor work to occur after September 5- but the rooms will be ready!
- Furniture: Most of the new furniture has been assemble. When the building gets completed, the furniture will be brought from the gym into your classrooms & resource areas.
- Work in Progress: The building will not be 100% complete on day one. As you know, our goal is to get a certificate of occupancy. We will have crews in the building (after hours) working in the month of September to finalize the building.
- Furniture Storage: I was at the old Walmart last week to meet with our moving coordinator, Nikki. I was very impressed with how our boxes and furniture are being stored this summer. Our stuff is being taken care of!
- Temporary Office: Lorri and I are working at Wilson until we can move to the new building. If you need us, check Wilson School!
A huge thank you to Bob Olson for all his hard work around
construction. He’s done a great job of
keeping me in the loop on things, but also keeping the work moving forward. If
you see him, give him a huge thank you for his work around our building progress
(and check to see if he’s gotten any gray hair from the summer stress😊!).
Please remember that the building is a construction site
until we get the certificate of occupancy.
As much as you are excited to see it, we can’t have people in until we
get the certificate of occupancy. I will let you know immediately when I
hear this date.
New Teacher STEM Training
We had our new McKinley teachers in this week learning about STEM. These two days are so empowering - it's great to see our McKinley Staff serve as facilitators of this learning. A huge thank you to Dr. Meagher, Libby Zeman, Jen Koziolek, Michelle Simon, Amanda Gislason, Lori Huisenga, Kayla Davis, Kate Seifert, Justin Lang, Mark Langlois, and Karla Wilke for leading our learning. We have such a passionate staff focused on learning and all kids. Makes me smile!
Enjoy your time at the SCFF, everyone!
Justin
