Oak Heights Elementary Project Updates

Oak Heights Elementary has reached substantial completion, marking a major milestone in the project. On May 13, members of the School Board had the opportunity to tour the new facility and see firsthand the progress that has been made. In addition, several Oak Heights families were invited to visit the school as part of a PTA organized prize experience. These students were among the first to step inside the new building, explore the bright and modern learning spaces, and enjoy the fun and dynamic new playground equipment.

The campus has already begun serving the school district. During the spring, the site was opened to host the district's laptop exchange program, providing staff opportunity to visit the new commons.

Furniture is being delivered, and preparations are underway for occupancy. Classroom materials, school belongings, and educational supplies are scheduled to be moved into the building in early July. Throughout the summer, district staff, contractors, and support teams will continue final preparations to ensure the school is fully ready for opening day.

While portions of the perimeter fencing will remain in place during the summer to protect the new landscaping, the front fencing is expected to be removed when teachers return to the building in August. At that time, staff will begin preparing classrooms and learning spaces for the upcoming academic year.

Excitement is building as Oak Heights Elementary gets ready to welcome students, families, and staff for the start of the 2026–2027 school year in a wonderful new learning environment that has been thoughtfully designed to serve the community for generations to come.

Installation of new accessible playground is underway.

The Kindergarten play area and trike track have their own area directly outside of the classrooms.

Typical classrooms with casework and a calmdown zone are almost complete.

Cedar timber brings the feeling of calm and warmth to the undercover areas.

The split level atrium, thoroughfare, stairs and learning nooks are coming together with final touches.

The final stages of construction at Oak Height Elementary School are taking place and progressing according to schedule. The artificial turf field is fully installed and ready to welcome students when school opens. Playground equipment is being installed and the finished concrete in the gym was poured and is now curing. The gym floor installation is scheduled for the end of February.

Concrete pours in the commons and exterior concrete for landscaping and playground areas have been successful. Landscaping is now ready to receive topsoil. Mechanical system activities are being finalised and building commissioning continues.
