As we prepare for another outstanding school year, we are pleased to share that the vast majority of our summer construction and facility improvement projects have been completed. These investments have enhanced the safety, appearance, and functionality of our campus, and we are excited for students, staff, and community members to experience the upgrades.

Gym Floor Project

The only major project still underway is the high school gymnasium floor replacement. The previous floor was removed, the subfloor and materials were delivered, and reconstruction is in progress. Installation of the new maple playing surface is nearing completion, with final finishing work remaining. 

We recognize that many community members are eager to see the finished product, and we appreciate everyone's patience as contractors complete this final phase. The new gym floor will provide our students and athletes with a safe, high-quality playing surface that will serve the district for many years to come.

Thank You

We would like to thank our students, staff, contractors, and community members for their patience and support throughout this construction process. While large-scale facility projects can create temporary inconveniences, the end result is a safer, more attractive, and more functional campus for current and future River Valley students.
