Parking lots to begin immediately after school is out for summer
Twin Lake Elementary
The library will be moved to the gym immediately after school closes for summer. Entry and parking will be on the East side of the building.
R-P Club Daycare, formerly Little Rockets, will be offered at Reeths-Puffer Elementary for the summer of 2010.
Most of the building will be "off limits" soon after school closes for summer.
The new office should be open a few weeks prior to school reopening for the 2010-2011 school year.
Bids for the Twin Lake project will be taken at the end of March.
Middle School
Major cleaning and removal of unusable items will occur during Spring Break.
Electrical power and data connections will be interrupted immediately after students leave for the summer.
Office staff will be relocated to the Educational Services Building, 991 W. Giles Road, during the summer of 2010.
Bids for building construction project will be taken at the end of March. Plans and specifications will be out for this work shortly.
Some construction will occur when school opens for the 2010-2011 school year. Construction areas will be sealed off during this period to isolate students and staff from these areas as required by the State Fire Marshall.

Construction Design Stage
The architects, construction managers, technology consultants and school representatives are meeting every other week to review the status of various projects. At this time, it appears two summers will be required for the work. Our goal is to have all major work completed by the opening of school in the fall of 2011. Specific project information will be provided as it becomes available.
Parking Lot Repairs and Upgrades
Several locations will have their driveways and parking lots upgraded during the summer of 2010. The exact locations to be included are currently being determined.
Middle School
- In December, the steering committee visited three middle schools in Grand Rapids to observe and record options.
- Natural day lighting, safety and security, and a comfortable and welcoming environment were selected as primary factors to be considered as the design process progresses.
- After students arrive, the design will have visitors entering the main office prior to going into the rest of the building.
- Additional technology in the classrooms versus in labs is being carefully researched and evaluated.
- Construction will occur in both the summers of 2010 and 2011. Exact sequencing will be determined over the next couple of months. Office location space will be changed first to open space for other work.
- Bus and parent student drop-off and pick-up options are being reviewed for efficiency and safety.
- The students will enter the middle school in a new entry with four doors close to the current main entrance.
McMillan Elementary
Parking lots and building changes are being designed for work to be done during the summer of 2010.
Twin Lake Elementary
- This project is being scheduled for the first summer as we have experienced failures in the heating system which needs replacement as soon as possible.
- Other aspects of the Twin Lake project should be completed during the summer of 2010.
High School Running Track
- Soil testing has indicated that the sub-surface materials under the asphalt has become almost like cement in nature; therefore, proper drainage is not occurring and we are seeing major cracks in the actual running surface.
- Proper sub-surface material will need to be installed prior to the resurfacing of the track. This was budgeted for in the initial bond request.
