The grades 4-5 Westwood Intermediate School, has a
new media center in the
location of the former front entrance (above) and four classrooms in
the location of the former media center.

After a busy summer 2006 season of construction,
Park Terrace Elementary
has three new kindergarten classrooms and four new regular
classrooms.

The district acquired the former
Spring Lake Park
HealthPartners facility for
much-needed space during 2007-2010 construction phases. It will now also
be used as a permanent District
& Community Services Center. See Oct. and Nov. updates.
Final design plans will be approved in January or February.
A
Citizen Construction Oversight Committee
continues to meet regularly
with the superintendent, architects, and construction managers for the
facilities projects. Meetings are open to all. For more
information call 763-785-5513.

projects. View

Woodcrest
Elementary School
Final design plans for summer

Spring Lake Park High School's athletic field and
track project has been
completed. It solves a long-time drainage problem, replaces an
unsafe track, and includes a synthetic turf field which will dramatically
increase use by all members of the student body. This project was part of the district's long-range Facilities
Improvement Plan, but not a
part of the bond referendum.
