 Step 3 - Move the Elementary School into Fitzsimmons

Step 3 proposes that the Deer Creek Elementary School be moved into the current Fitzsimmons Middle School facility. Based on classrooms spaces in the Fitzsimmons facility, the elementary school can operate with two classrooms per grade with four additional flex classrooms to accommodate growth or enrollment “bubbles”. Spaces such as cafeteria, kitchen, and gymnasium will be shared with the MS/HS to create a consolidated K-12 facility.

The Fitzsimmons site will be developed to accommodate elementary amenities including new parking, student drop-off lanes, bus drop-off and playgrounds.

This step consolidates campuses into one allowing the district to move out of the aging Deer Creek Elementary school facility. It is anticipated that the Deer Creek Elementary School property will be sold.

Conceptually, the elementary school should reflect the energy and enthusiasm of 5-11 year old students and create a welcoming environment for students, teachers, and the community. The conceptual images below begin to illustrate how the existing building could be transformed to accommodate Kindergarten through fifth grade students.
