Construction Update for the new school on the Beverly Community Centre Site Now Named Rockton Elementary School
Construction began on the new school last summer. Unfortunately, we had to pause construction during the winter months because the extreme cold had frozen the ground and the construction company was unable to place the footings, which would allow for the pouring of the foundation. Once the ground was thawed enough, construction resumed and will be continuing until the school is complete.
We had expected to have students and staff into Rockton elementary in January 2020, but with the pause in construction, the timeline for the school to be finished has been moved into spring 2020.
This delay means that students will remain at either Dr. Seaton or Beverly Central campuses for the entire 2019-2020 school year and will move into Rockton Elementary in September 2020.
We apologize for the delay in the opening of the new school, as we are just as excited about it as the community. I want to thank all students and families for their continued patience and support.
