New School Update (provided by Lori Vidonic, PTO Communications Volunteer) Parents and teachers were given an update on the new Riverview Elementary Schoolconstruction at the November PTO meeting. Dr. Tommy Schmolze, Assistant Superintendent of Administration and Student Services, Forrest King, a representative from Cumming Construction and Mrs. Chinchilla gave updates on the construction and move. At this point they anticipate the school being done on time with classes starting in the new building on January 6th. In terms of a construction timeline, the 1st floor has passed a major inspection and the 2nd floor will have a major inspection November 18th. Final inspection is now set for December 11th. Paving of the driveway and parking lots will start Monday November 10 as will installation of the carpet and other flooring in classrooms. Technology wires are being run along with other construction, and new SmartBoards and computers will begin installation on December 1st. All technology should be functional by the final inspection. Furniture will also be loaded in early December. The only major item that will not be done when the school opens is the terrazzo (poured decorative concrete) flooring in the halls, cafeteria and hall walls. Due to construction constraints this will be done over the summer. The school will open with painted, polished concrete floors in those areas. The PTO will need many volunteers to help with moving, but specific needs are still being worked out. The majority of the move is scheduled for December 18th and 19th, but there may be other volunteer needs the weekend before, over Christmas break or on January 5th and 6th. If you would like to help with the move, please make sure our Volunteer Coordinator, Lori Metz, has you on our volunteer list so you get regular updates on volunteer needs and sign ups. If you are not registered you can complete our volunteer form at the link provided below or contact Lori at lrmetz@gmail. January 5th, the day before the school opens, will be Meet The School Night, when teachers and students will be able to tour the new school. More details on this will be coming soon. riverviewpto.org/welcome-packet/volunteer-form/
