Dear North Callaway R-1 Community,
It’s hard to believe the 2024-25 school year is coming to a close today! As we celebrate all that we’ve accomplished, we’re also excitedly looking ahead to the 2025-26 school year—especially as we provide an update regarding the transformative construction of the North Callaway Elementary School.
Construction Progress
Since March, much of the work has focused on site preparation and utility installation for the new building. We’re thrilled to share that concrete is being poured today for the K-2 wing! Because this is a pre-engineered metal building, construction will move forward in sections. The K-2 wing at the front of the building comes first, followed by the administrative wing and the Thunderbird Learning Center. We anticipate seeing major progress throughout June and July!
Upcoming Improvements
Beginning Tuesday, May 29, Coil Construction will start grading for a brand-new high school parking lot. This gravel lot will offer daily parking for students and staff, as well as convenient access for football games, track meets, and other large school events.
Looking Ahead
We expect the new parking lot to be ready by the start of school in August. In the meantime, we’re working closely with vendors to select playground equipment, order new furniture, and enhance school safety with updated cameras and a modern intercom system.
Thank you for your continued support as we grow and improve together. We’re excited about the future and know this project would only be happening with your support.
