Hello DeKeyser families,
I wanted to take this opportunity to share some exciting news! This summer, DeKeyser Elementary will benefit from the passing of the 2018 Bond! Thank you so much to the parents and community members who voted "Yes" on the bond, which will bring important safety and security improvements to all of Utica Schools!
For our school, the summer construction will redesign our front entrance/lobby/front office so it is more secure. Construction includes new lobby doors and lobby walls so visitors coming in to DeKeyser will be directed into the front office, with no immediate access to student areas.
Construction will begin the day after the last day of school, June 17th. Since the front office will not be accessible, it will be relocated. Front office staff will be in the Science Room June 17th - June 26th. There will be signage directing visitors to the back parking lot, near the entrance of the Science/Art/Music Wing. We break for summer and then we will return to work around August 7th.
Look for a "What's Happening at the "D" newsletter to keep you updated!
With gratitude,
Mary Beth Merlo
