Bellevue schools prepare for the move into new buildings
Volunteers can help carry boxes on Community Move-In Day, Aug. 3. The new three-story elementary will hold 950 students.
Bellevue elementary students are weeks away from classes in the new Bellevue Elementary School. Superintendent Kim Schubert said Aug. 3 will be Community Move-In Day for the new elementary and middle schools, and volunteers are welcome.
No heavy furniture will be moved, she said; volunteers will carry boxes. The Bellevue Hospital’s administrative staff will spend their workday helping, and members of the Committee to Grow Bellevue have signed up. Other groups and individuals can register through the district office.
On a tour for Gazette staff, Schubert showed a building designed for 950 children, where everything seems bigger. The three-story school has its main offices next to new secured entry doors, with space for principals and the school nurse.
The buildings were funded with help from the state school construction program; see Ohio Facilities Construction Commission. Earlier: technology and furniture bids. More in Schools & Sports.
