Dear members of The Joseph Sears School community,
We are continuing to work on our Master Facilities planning for The Joseph Sears School. As the Kenilworth Board of Education and Administration work with DLA Architects and New Vista Design to conduct visioning sessions, we are inviting your child to participate in a special way. Please let us know if your child (students in grades 2- 8 invited to attend) would be interested in participating in a student focus group with New Vista Design.
Student Visioning Conversation:
March 12, from 3:30 pm - 5 pm in the LTC
The students will focus on:
- What our students love about Sears School
- What they would like to see happen with our facility in the future
You are also invited to our Community Visioning Conversation on the evening of March 12 at 7:00 p.m. in the MPR. Everyone is welcome and the goals for this session are:
- Priority Setting
- Design Patter Overview and Prioritization
- Blue Sky Ideas Development
The Board and Administrative team will continue to look to the entire Sears community to provide input throughout the Master Facilities Plan development process. We believe that starting with a strategic vision is critical. DLA Architects and New Vista Design will be building off of the educational and architectural priorities first established in similar meetings held in November 2018. The feedback from the workshop and community conversations will result in a revised and updated set of goals, priorities, and desired design elements that will inform and guide all aspects of the Sears School renovation and redesign process.
