Dear Athena Families,
I am writing to update you on our progress for the construction of the new building next door, which will be the new home of the Primary 1 and Primary 2 classrooms.
Our construction timeline for the new building has been delayed by the City of Austin review process of the site plan for which we applied last August. After many delays, our final hearing is now scheduled for April 12 and we are on the “consent agenda” for site plan approval. We anticipate being able to begin construction soon after that. The construction schedule is about four months to complete the building.
In the event that the building is not ready in time for the first day of school (August 22), we have several contingency plans that serve all of the classes well, temporarily, until the building is complete. Even without the new building, we currently have plenty of space on campus (three properties, including the yellow house) to accommodate all six classes, for all students (new and returning) who have enrolled for Fall 2011.
We have to wait until we have secured timelines before making final decisions as to the various contingency plans, if we need them. While I don’t know all of the details at this time, I can promise that your children will be in a beautiful classroom on the Athena campus, with the best teachers.
We will certainly keep you posted as our progress unfolds, and you can follow us anytime on our construction blog on the Athena website. Thank you for your support and your trust. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me.
Warmly,
Lisl
