New Build Updates - Plateau Valley, School District No. 50

School Construction Update: Managing Change and Embracing Progress

As we navigate the ongoing construction at our school, we understand that the current state may feel overwhelming. However, we want to assure you that the "Make Ready" preparations are a strategic effort to save both the district and taxpayers money. The chaos you see now is temporary, and we are on track to transform this space into a clean, usable environment by July.

We are excited to confirm that we are still planning to host an elementary orientation and tours on August 7, starting at 5pm. Should any changes arise, we will promptly communicate them to you. Our dedicated teachers are eager to return to their classrooms, but their safety remains our top priority. We promise they will be in their rooms as soon as we can.

Weekly Progress Updates from FCI

Field Observation

The pace of progress is rapid, and we are thrilled to share that starting in July, we will provide short drone footage showcasing the latest updates. The teamwork and dedication driving these projects are truly inspiring, and we are proud to be part of this journey.

FCI, our construction partner, is committed to minimizing disruptions by scheduling all utility work that could impact a regular school day on Fridays. We have contingency plans in place, allowing us to use the three days already allocated for inclement weather and unforeseen interruptions to the school day. Worst case we can extend school into the last week in May to accommodate any major adjustments. The professionals state that if there are construction related interruptions they will be in four hour increments.

Thank you for your understanding and support as we work towards a brighter future for our school community.

Updates from PVS

Updated 5/30/2024

We're excited to share some updates on the ongoing construction at our school!

The builder's site is now set up on the east side of the practice fields. A new road is being built along the property's north side for contractor use. Don't worry, the practice, soccer, and football fields will be available through October 2024. Our crew is closely monitoring soil conditions and water saturation to ensure everything goes smoothly.

Our "Make Ready" crew is eager to start! The main school building will undergo a few transformations to get ready for the new school year in August. We’ll share more details soon. Mark your calendars for June 7th and 14th—you’re invited to come look through salvageable items, check out the progress, and say goodbye to the old spaces.

The demolition crew will arrive in June. This summer, we'll be saying farewell to:

Jr. High (Middle School)
The last couple of elementary classrooms
The FFA shop
The transportation building
The concession stand
But don't worry—everyone has a temporary home/plan, thanks to our amazing Make Ready crew!

Facilities will be open during the demolition phase for summer programs, and our coaching staff will keep athletes updated on any changes. Signage will need to be closely followed. Only key areas will have internet while the Make Ready crews are working for school to open in August.

Thank you for your patience and support as we work on these important improvements to our school. Stay tuned for more updates!
