SITE USE AND FUNCTIONALITY

General Education Classrooms

  • Classrooms have adequate space but the furniture is outdated and not flexible enough for current needs.
  • There is a need for at least three more portable classrooms, however it would be preferred to have permanent construction.

Special Education Classrooms

  • There is insufficient storage and space for current operations. Increasing capacity is the main concern, but there is a desire for sensory walls and other technology to help facilitate needs for special education.

Student Services / Counseling

  • There is currently no dedicated space for student services and counseling. Services are happening in empty classrooms. Because there is no dedicated space, there is a lack of storage necessary to student service operations. When no empty classrooms are available, some services have moved into hallways to accommodate student needs.

Staff and Administrative Spaces

  • The administrative space is very small and cramped. There is a huge need for additional space and storage. It is also not efficient in screening visitors, parents, or others that come onto campus, as the office is in an unintuitive location.

Kitchen / Cafeteria / Food Service

  • The kitchen is full service and helps to provide food across the district. The multi-purpose room provides some space for indoor dining but it requires multiple lunch periods. The outdoor dining has helped during COVID but it is not shaded and does not provide much seating.

Student Assembly

  • The multi-purpose room is adequate for the school needs but it is outdated and does not allow for school-wide assembly. There is not enough storage which has led to the stage being unusable as it catches overflow equipment and materials.

Library

  • The library space works well but it is undersized. There is a desire to expand this space and include a maker-space for students.

Physical Education / Athletics Buildings

  • Physical education is happening outdoors and in the multi-purpose space. There is no dedicated area for classes and the equipment is held in outdoor storage. The storage space is not large enough to increase the amount of equipment and the existing equipment is outdated.

Outdoor Play Equipment / Hardcourts

  • The playground equipment is in decent shape but there is not enough for all the students. The play area is used for all classes including kindergarten. Expanding the playground and the equipment will be necessary to allow larger amounts of students time to recess.
  • The hardcourts need to be resurfaced and re-striped. There is a desire to expand some of the services on the hardcourts like basketball and tether-ball.

Specialized Elective Spaces

  • There are currently no dedicated elective spaces. Art is held in classrooms or outside for messier projects.
  • Music is held in empty classrooms or in the multi-purpose space. This is not working well for the school and a dedicated music space is necessary.

Restrooms

  • There are not enough restrooms on campus for all students. The existing facilities could use a face-lift.

Site

  • The site is currently facing a security issue due to the lack of fence on the public side of campus.
  • There are additional issues with the pathways that make it difficult for mobility impaired students to navigate. Regrading and reconfiguring the current pathways will be necessary to accommodate ADA requirements.

Technology

  • The classroom technology is sufficient, as well as the technology in the multi-purpose spaces.
  • The security cameras need to be updated and new cameras added to cover blind spots across campus.
