July Construction Update 

Freedom Elementary is on schedule and will open on time!  I thought that I would start this message in response to the first thing my friends, family and my neighbors ask when I see them.  The Fire Marshall just signed off on our alarm and sprinkler systems yesterday, Monday July 23, 2007 and most of the building was made available to accept deliveries and set up furniture as it arrives.  The list of things that have to be completed in and outside of the building is long and challenging.  Our general contractor, GE Johnson has a reputation for premier projects under budget and on time.  The coordination for a project this size is remarkable.  At every juncture in the process, our contractor has delivered, despite some considerable challenges and unexpected changes.  From plumbing to paint and electrical to excavation all the sub-contractors have delivered quality work and pride of workmanship.   

All schools in District 11 are expected to hold regular office hours effective July 31, 2007.  Freedom has been granted an exception and is expected to open its doors for office business on August 9, 2007.  We want to thank the Wagon Trails community for their patience and we all look forward to opening our doors to parents, students and the public in a few short weeks.  Thanks again.
