As they begin a new academic year on Sept. 5, Warwick Valley students and faculty can look forward to many improvements to school facilities and instructional spaces.
Ongoing summer construction includes work outlined in the Capital Project approved by voters in December of 2017, as well as projects taken on by the District’s Buildings and Grounds staff.
“The Middle School will see the most significant transformation with a complete redesign of the Media Center and the relocation and enhancement of various instructional and administrative spaces,” said Dr. David Leach, Superintendent of Schools. “But every one of our school buildings is undergoing timely repairs and upgrades. With much work yet to be done, we are excited to share our progress and thankful to the community for its continued investment in our schools and our students’ futures.”
