CONSTRUCTION AT KAHOA
Construction will begin in May on the new four classroom addition at Kahoa. The area impacted will be the northwest corner of the building by the Kindergarten and fourth grade classrooms. The drive-through lane may be unavailable during this time. Also, we may need to alter where the fourth grade, first grade and Kindergarten students line up and are dismissed. When we actually have our general contractor selected (hopefully, at the next LPS Board Meeting), we will be sharing more information. Until then, just be aware that we may be changing some procedures in the near future.
