Construction is now underway on a grant-funded sidewalk project at St. James R 1 School District.
Work began June 1 and is expected to continue through August. This project, funded through a grant secured by the district, will improve pedestrian safety, accessibility, and connectivity between the elementary campus and the Field Facility.
The project includes:
• New concrete sidewalks at the Field Facility

Please review the following temporary access changes before attending summer school, camps, athletic activities, or other events on campus.
