Westside School moved their modular portable school buildings on July 5 and they should be ready for the first day of school on August 1.
When Westside School moved to their new home in the E.C. Hughes building they had to leave behind four modular school buildings they had added during their growth process, back when they shared a building with Explorer West.
On July 5 they moved those portable/modular units, with one moving at night due to its size and they are now in place on the south part of the campus. Plumbing trenches were dug and the electrical has been hooked up and they should be operational by the first week of August when school starts at Westside.
They acquired the first of the units in 1999 for pre-school and kindergarten classed and the next in 2005 to accommodate their library plus music and art. Then two more were added over the ensuing years.
There are two classrooms in each units for 18 to 20 students.
The early childhood center has a kitchen and laundry facility as well.
Williams Scotsman, who built the units also handled the move.
The school also made improvements to its stage with new lighting and backstage upgrades.
Director of Admissions, David Bergler shared that there are only a few spots available for new students but that the school offers tours daily for those interested. Check them out on the web at http://www.westsideschool.org/
