Facilities Updates and Long-Term Closures

1/9/2023 9:32 am

Our Buildings and Grounds department, school business administrator, external contractors, and other personnel have been on site at MMS throughout the week monitoring the repairs on the water damage in our library and lower gym as the result of a large leak over the winter holiday.  We thank them for their work addressing this facility issue.  

The lower gym and library remain sealed off and inaccessible for students and staff during repairs.  Unfortunately, the lower gym will be closed for the remainder of the year.  Our Physical Education teaching team, supported by their supervisor Ms. Monfasani, is hard at work making adjustments to the curriculum and will modify upcoming fitness units using the upper gym.

All current room relocations remain the same with Mr. Kessler’s 8th grade Geometry courses meeting in the cafeteria and room 165.  Our Instructional Technology team has ordered portable technology to further support Mr. Kessler’s courses during this transition period.

The team aims to open the library during this school year and we will update you when we have a definitive time frame for reopening.

As a reminder, no space will be reopened for staff and students until cleared by our environmental consultant and the office of Buildings and Grounds.
