Construction - Demolition of Old Administrative Suite - Spring Break

JE Dunn did not wait very long then to begin demolition of the old administrative suite over spring break.  In preparation for the new classrooms that would be built (new kindergarten classroom & early childhood classroom), on Saturday morning 3-15-14), cabinetry started coming down in preparation.

Then on Monday, March 17, the walls started coming down.  This is the wall between the old nurse's office and the reception office.

 Wall between the old nurse's office and the teacher workroom (do you see the door going into the side of the library).

 

 And then there was no wall (or nurse's restroom)

This is the nurse's office & reception.  

(That is the old principal office door behind the large roof drain) 

 

And new walls started going up!

Then by the end of the week, ALL the walls were down that were coming down, and holes dug to lie new plumbing for the EC & Kdg restrooms.  This picture is being taken from the inside corner of Mrs. Roe's old office, so going clockwise from the bottom, you can see her office, the corner of the workroom, teacher's lounge (down the middle), Mrs. Actkinson's office, then Hollywood.

Do you notice the location of the restrooms?  Yep, right in the old principal's office!

 

While this was going on in the old Administrative Offices, work continued to get the inside of our front vestibule ready!

Construction Update 3-14-14

The City of Overland Park did provide us with Temporary Occupancy on Friday afternoon (March 14)!  Yippee!  This means that we were able to begin the process of moving our office into the new Administrative Suite, and it has been a whirlwind.  Here are some pics of the last few days.

Last minute appliance installs.

Nurse's Office

An empty "old" principal's office. I may be smiling, but this was quite emotional for me.  I began my first principalship 15 years ago within these 4 walls. 

Moving into the New Principal's Office

Roofers continue to work on getting our new vestibules sealed and dry (here's a view from the roof).

 

The secondary vestibule getting the inner windows and drywall. 

Doors have gone in over spring break so the inner vestibule will be open to the public following Spring Break. 

The outer vestibule (and front doors) will still not be finished until Phase 2 is completed, which could be the end of April.  Students and parents will continue to use the Temporary Entrance until that time.

INDIVIDUAL SPRING Pictures

All students will have their photographs taken, but are not pre-purchased like our fall pictures.  Instead, photos will be printed and then sent home for parents to decide whether to purchase ALL of them, portions of them, or none at all and return them.  

CLASS PICTURES

Class Group Photos will also be taken on Thursday. 

Order forms were sent home with your child last Friday in their Friday Folders.  

Additional order forms are available in the office.
