Room for 400
The new replacement school is approximately 52,500 square feet, and supports the enrollment of 400 students from K-6 grades. Notable building features consist of two stories, seventeen classrooms, multiple resource rooms, offices, a music room, gymnasium, social center with a stage, kitchen, and library/media center. Widened hallways double as “flex” learning spaces, providing for breakout spaces and one-to-one guidance. Two large light monitors are positioned along the central spine of the roof immersing the centrally located hallways with natural light.
