Dear Olympic Heights families,
On Friday, March 21, construction will commence to detach the four modular units from Olympic Heights School. The detachment process will take place over spring break.
When students return from spring break on March 30, the modulars will be detached but remain in the same area near the school. A temporary wall will be installed on the school to enclose the space where the modulars were connected, allowing that area inside the school to be safely used. The detached modulars are expected to be moved to their new school site in late Spring.
During this process, we are committed to ensuring a safe environment for all students, staff and community members. To minimize disruptions and maintain safety, the following precautions will be in place:
- The construction area will remain securely fenced off.
- Work will primarily take place outside of school hours, whenever possible.
- Crews will be coordinating closely with school administration to avoid impacting school activities and students’ outdoor time.
Building and landscape restoration will continue into the summer. Once this work is completed, construction equipment and fencing will be removed, and the area will be fully restored in preparation for the upcoming 2025-2026 school year. We will provide another update as we approach the project's completion.
Two classes within the school will be impacted by these changes and will be moving classrooms next week. The school will be reaching out to those classes directly with more details. Thank you for your patience and support as we make these improvements to provide additional learning spaces across our growing school system.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact facilityprojects@cbe.ab.ca.
Sincerely,
Calgary Board of Education
