After years of planning, design, and construction, South Middle School will open its doors on September 6, 2023 to 5th grade through 8th grade in our new building!
This week, teachers got permission to start coming in to set up classrooms, and they have been dodging construction and subcontractor crews for the past few days, preparing their rooms and adding their personal touch to make the brand new spaces ready for the students.
The energy throughout the building is downright gleeful as folks see the light-filled classrooms, spacious hallways, and state-of-art facilities that will be supporting our students’ learning and growth going forward. Of course, the faculty is always excited to welcome a new class of scholars every fall, but this year takes that sense of rebirth and limitless possibility to a whole new level!
As eager as we are to welcome students and families to the new building, it is not yet safe to open our doors to the public. The construction team is putting on the final push to ensure a maximally-complete building is ready to go by the end of the summer.
Consulting with the town’s Building Inspector, we are optimistic that, during the week of 8/28, we’ll be able to offer some open houses for community members in the evenings and some orientation programming for the younger students during the day. More information will follow as we get closer to that date, but I wanted folks to be able to pencil it in on your calendars.
If your child is not available that week, don’t worry! The teachers are planning to spend a lot of time in the opening days of school orienting all students (and themselves!) to the new building and the different procedures in the new South Middle School.
I will share more information in the coming days. Until then, be well, Bulldogs!
