Construction Update - May 29, 2025

Dear Panther Parents,

As we enter the summer months, I want to take a moment to sincerely thank you for your continued patience and support as our campus undergoes significant improvements and renovations. We have seen considerable progress this year, and I am happy to report we are moving ahead of schedule. Your understanding and flexibility have been instrumental in helping us maintain a safe and productive learning environment during this exciting time of growth.

We are pleased to share a few important updates and upcoming changes that will take place over the summer and into the beginning of the new school year:

Summer Construction Updates

• Cafeteria, Commons Area, and Media Center: Construction will continue in these areas throughout the summer.
• Classroom Updates: Additional classroom renovations and updates are scheduled to take place again this summer to enhance the learning environment.
• Portable Classrooms: These will be removed from campus, making way for the construction of our new Gymnasium.
• Performing Arts Center: Construction will conclude on this exciting new facility, which will be a cornerstone for our fine arts program.
• Traffic and Access Changes
• A new road will open on the left side of the building before the beginning of school, adjacent to the Performing Arts Center. While this road will be accessible, please note that construction will still occupy a portion of the area.
• A new traffic pattern will be implemented and shared with families in July to ensure a smooth transition and return to school.

Front Office and Administrative Area Construction

• Beginning May 27th, construction will commence in the Front Office and Administrative Areas, continuing through December 2025.
• During this time, the main entrance to the school will be temporarily relocated to the left front entranceway.
• This entrance will also serve as the bus rider drop-off and pick-up location.

Extracurricular Activities

• All extracurricular activities will continue as scheduled throughout the summer.
• Please note the GHSA Dead Weeks: No athletic activities will take place during the following times:  May 25 – June 1 and June 30 – July 6

We are incredibly excited about the improvements taking shape and the enhanced opportunities they will bring to our students. Thank you once again for your partnership and support as we work to create the best possible environment for our school community.

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Sincerely,

Juliet King 

Facilities Update - November 26, 2024

Dear Panther families,

 We are excited to bring you the latest updates on our ongoing facility improvements, which include partial completion of on-campus parking areas, the relocation of main entrances to the building, and an adjustment to the car line for student drop-off and pickup areas. As construction moves ahead of schedule, these changes will be in place when students return from Thanksgiving Break.

Parking lot 2, as indicated on the map below, will be closed for construction. Students and staff permitted to park there will be relocated to Lot 3, and updated parking permits will be provided for them.

Construction of Lot 3 will be fully completed in January. Starting in December, permits for Lot 3 will be available for purchase in advance. More information regarding the process for purchasing permits will be provided in the coming weeks.  

Student pickup and drop-off will now take place at the back of the school, as indicated by the yellow-lined arrows in the map below. At this time, we will maintain the left turn only to exit the campus. Staff members will be available to assist with directing traffic flow.

Additionally, the school's main front entrances will be relocated to the back due to the construction of the new media center, commons area, and kitchen, which will take up some of Parking Lot 2. Students who are picked up or dropped off during school hours must enter the back of the building as indicated on the map. Students riding the school bus will enter the doors to the left of the original main entrance.

The safety of students and staff is a top priority, so secure access points have been added at each of these entrances. Visitors will be required to buzz in as normal at both of these entry points.

To recap, the following changes will go into effect immediately until further notice:

• Parking Lot 2 closed for construction
• Partial opening of Lot 3, to accommodate the relocation of cars already permitted for Lot 2 
• Permits for Lot 3 will be available for purchase starting in December
• New car line for student drop-off and pickup relocated to the back of the building
• Left turn only to exit campus will remain in effect
• Main front entrances closed and relocated
• Secure access is installed at both new entrance locations

Thank you to our staff, students, and families for your continued patience and flexibility amidst these much-needed improvements and renovations to our school.
