Because you asked
Why are we moving before Jan. 3?
After the construction delay was announced last spring, many families requested that the district do everything it can to move students into the new building prior to the Jan. 3 date if it was safe to do so. We have been working diligently toward trying to make that happen.
Why didn't you tell us sooner? Moving before Jan. 3 always meant a tight timeline and even after the bulk of construction was complete there were multiple health, safety and mechanical inspections happening over the last couple weeks that we had little control over regarding timing. W
hile we had hoped to have a few more days of lead time up to the potential move-in, we also wanted to avoid false hopes of an early opening if we weren't certain.
Why Dec. 5? As part of trying to move in students as soon as safely possible, we also wanted to minimize impact to student learning. We selected the Dec. 5 date as an early opening opportunity because this Friday there is no school, which allowed teachers a long weekend to move, followed by a shortened week with several early dismissals for parent-teacher conferences. In the end though, it all depended on when the building passed inspections and got the OK from the City of Fircrest.
