Welcome back to a new school year.
Welcome Back
Welcome back to a new school year. It has been a wonderful first week, as students met their new teachers, explored the school, caught up with old friends, made new friends and shared in the back to school Mass together.
Air Conditioning Installed
With careful planning and analysis of the electrical capacity of the building, Notre Dame Elementary School was able to install air conditioning in the multipurpose room (MPR) this past spring, and 16 window units in strategically placed rooms throughout the seven wings of the first two floors. With further study, the school was able to order an additional 23 classroom units to be installed within this next week.
“It is an extraordinary moment for our elementary school. This summer we moved the preschool into the main building, installed new lockers for the middle school, installed new filtered and chilled drinking fountains throughout the building, and we were finally able to address a challenge that has remained for the elementary school since its move into its current location since 1972: how to cool the building. This is an interim, cost-effective solution to providing air conditioning in our learning spaces,” said Dr. Michael Bates, president of Notre Dame Schools.
