1) Renovations estimates are like all other complicated estimates.
Expect changes and delays.
2) This renovation will commence in July 2014. That is,
after the last day of classes.
3) This renovation is not expected to be completed by
September 2014.
4) The latest estimate is that this renovation will be
completed in mid-October 2014.
5) There is expected to be drop-off/pick-up circle impact while
the renovation is completed. The extent and duration is to be confirmed by the TCDSB
Project Team and based on the renovation's progress.
6) Until the renovation is completed, the all day Jr. and
Sr. Kindergarten classes are expected to occupy the school's library and one
other classroom (not a portable). Details
are to be confirmed by the school and the TCDSB Project Team, ASAP.
7) The latest Project Team's renovation drawings are posted
to your St. Agnes CSAC's site, in the Key Documents area (top right corner). The drawings
(downloadable/printable) are as follows:
Drawing 1: Shows the existing school and the renovation area.Drawing 2: Shows the single story addition to the renovation area, including a single story extension to the existing kindergarten classroom. Note that the Peace Garden is replaced with a kindergarten classroom; there would be a new stairway from the drop-off circle; there will be a new, entirely fenced and level playground for the kindergarten classes; the existing entrance by the library will remain for non-kindergarten students; there are many proposed trees to be planted.
Drawing 3: Shows the interior details of the renovation area. Note the new washrooms, cubbies and entrance way for the kindergarten classes.
We hope you find this information helpful and that you'll share it with anyone else who may be impacted by this renovation and not already signed-up for automatic email updates from the St. Agnes CSAC. Hint: they can sign-up on the CSAC site too.
As mentioned in the school's April Newsletter, the drawings provided here are available for viewing in the school's office as well.
