Viking Elementary Construction Progress August 18, 2023:
Construction crews continue work on Viking Elementary. The front entry is really taking shape. Framing up of the walls for the front entry and the music room addition are near completion. Roofing work will begin next week. Concrete curbing, a storm sewer drain, and sidewalk will be installed next week. Kitchen floor was completed yesterday. Tile will be installed for cafeteria and gym office. August 25, kitchen appliances and cabinets will be installed.
We do anticipate a late opening for the school office. The primary reason for delay was the state plan review taking some extra time delaying the start date. We will temporarily utilizing the teacher lunch room for office space for the beginning of the year. Don't worry, school will start on time. The south entrance will be utilized for building access until the front entry can be opened. The entry and front office area is expected to be completed by the end of September but some access to entry and parts of office may come a little earlier. Although there is a delay, staff and our families understand and know the finished areas will be worth the wait.
