Students at Westmont Elementary School will report to the Columbia County School District support department complex for classes on Friday, Aug. 16. But they will report to the new school starting on Monday, Aug. 19.
According to a letter sent out to parents and guardians, students in kindergarten and first grade will be dropped off at the support department complex and spend the day rotating between learning stations. These stations include the students visiting a fire truck, an ambulance and an animal adaption presentation.
Students in grades 2nd – 5th will arrive at the support department complex to check in and have breakfast before heading out on the scheduled field trips. All students will return to the support department complex for dismissal.
Please note, all vehicles should enter the support department complex via River Watch Parkway. Before and after school care will be available at the complex for those who are registered. Grab and go breakfast and lunch will also be provided for all students, including those participating in field trips. Self-contained students will remain at their current temporary locations,” the letter said.
“While we have been told by the contractor that the building will be ready for students next week, parents are encouraged to review the contingency plans regarding temporary accommodations at the Columbia County Exhibition Center, if needed,” said a statement from the district. “We apologize for any inconvenience these changes may have caused. As soon as we receive updates on building occupancy from the contractor we will notify parents.”
The Support Department Complex is located at 4395 River Watch Parkway.
