Lake Preschool & Kindergarten

 
     
 

Overview of Needs: Renovated in 2009, the Lake School functions very well and generally meets the needs of the students and community. The facility houses the Pre-school and Kindergarten programs and includes District Administration offices. The facility has the ability to accommodate enrollment projections into the future, however, there are safety, program, and maintenance improvements that have been identified as deficient. The following projects are planned:


Safety: Improvements to increase the visibility from the administration and reception area to better monitor visitors coming to the facility are included in the project. The entry vestibule will also be improved with a new transaction window, electronic locks, and door hardware consistent with other proposed vestibule improvements across the district.


Safety: To address the need for improved vehicular and pedestrian circulation, upgrades to the parking lot and student drop-off lane are proposed. These alterations provide safer dedicated pedestrian routes to the school entry, improve student drop-off lanes, and provide dedicated parking for walk-in preschool student check-in. The sidewalk along Boulevard Street is extended South to Arthur Avenue to increase the bus drop-off length and connect the school site to the surrounding community and the Safe Route to School.


Safety & Maintenance: Other exterior improvements are planned including upgrading the playground surfacing from wood chips to a poured rubber surface. Seasonal shade structures are needed at the playgrounds to meet code and provide improved spaces for outdoor activities.
