Last week, Mr. Heisey brought the leadership to the first wall of the new high school and talked about importance of the foundation, from a construction and spiritual perspective. From there, they prayed and write scriptures on the wall.

1. There will be work on Palomas as well as the main water line on Louisiana this week, both causing temporary disruptions.  
2. The stairs that were on the east side of the gym will be relocated this week to the south side of the Cardio Room for emergency exit only.    
3. The temporary fence by the MPB will be relocated today to allow access for students and staff/parents/coaches to the MPB from the north double doors and the west doors.  (this will remain in place for the remainder of the project. 
4. Excavation for the building should be finished up this week and digging for footings will begin. 
5. There will be a new exit door cut into the north side of the gym to give an additional emergency exit because the east single door from the gym will be closed off.  
6. Let's all do the best we can to communicate, communicate, communicate; please pass this information on to those who need it.  

We are excited to announce that construction has begun!  I will be giving necessary updates via email regarding construction.  As I mentioned previously, please be ready to "pivot" when necessary.  We are hoping that most of the "inconveniences" will be this summer when school is not in session.  If you have any questions, please let me know.  

1. Electric service has been disconnected to the rooms/buildings to be demoed.   
   
2. Demolition of buildings and parking lot will begin on Monday, June 3. 
   
3. For safety reasons, the gas will be shut off to the high school campus next week at some point.  That means there will be no hot water.  I do not know how long we will be without gas.  
   
4. They will do all they can to keep the water on throughout construction.  However, there will be times when they might hit a water line (unscheduled) or there is a scheduled shut-off this summer and there will be no water for some time.  Realizing that we have summer sports camps planned throughout the summer, we will be leasing a portable bathroom (trailer) which will be located in the staff parking lot.  This can be used if the water is shut off and children (or adults) need to use the bathroom.  We plan on having it available for the month of June and possibly July. 
   
5. The grass area on the east and west side of the bridge is not to be used during the construction period this summer.
