Construction nears completion at the middle school.
Crews are busy repairing and cleaning the ceiling grid following successful equipment installation. The classroom remodel has entered the phase of finishing touches, including final drywall finishes and painting. Classroom furniture is being put back into place for the start of the year.

There are a few spaces in the middle school that will not be available for the first weeks of school, but there is a plan in place to work around that. Spaces will be completed, inspected, and prepared for occupancy quickly with safety of our students and staff as our number one priority.

As planned, the HVAC equipment has been installed, but system hook up and testing is scheduled to occur after school starts, after hours and on weekends.
The final countdown for Gardner Field.

The first game is expected to be played on Gardner Field on September 14.

The track is being cleaned, and all cracks are in the process of being sealed. The bleachers will be delivered and installed in the next 2-3 weeks, and construction on the lower retaining wall will be completed.
Roofing is down to the details.
The roofing work is expected to be completed just prior to the start of school. At this point, it's down to some last details and ladders.
