ACS staff members, contractors, and a number of volunteers worked diligently over the summer to accomplish important facility improvements on our school campus. The largest project involved renovating seven classrooms in modular buildings across from the main school building. Parents and students had a chance to tour the new classrooms on September 2 as part of New Family Orientation.
Some of the important upgrades accomplished in the classrooms included replacing tile floors with laminate, adding new windows and bathrooms, painting the inside and outside of the classrooms, adding new landscaping around the buildings, and installing new HVAC units. The classrooms are also all equipped with projectors, WiFi, security cameras, and a communications system connected to the main school building.
“We praise God for the way this very challenging project was accomplished in a short amount of time over the summer,” said Chief School Administrator Karen Oblen. “The addition of these new classrooms has made it possible for us to welcome many more students and their families to be a part of our ACS family.”
Other new additions to the ACS campus include the installation of new carpeting in six classrooms in the main school building, new striping of parking lot lines, and painting throughout the school. A new sensory exploration path was also added to a first floor hallway and students in the Early Education summer program got the first opportunity to use it. ACS parent Mike Jorgenson is also nearing completion of a face-lift to a gazebo that was relocated to be near the new modular classrooms.
We hope you will come out to see these upgrades and more at our Elementary Back-to-School Night on September 14 and our Middle School/High School Back-to-School Night on September 21.
