construction news:
Virginia Court is receiving a whole building remodel and three building additions, which will include six new classrooms and a new main office. The classroom additions will enhance the school’s STEM and Art programs, and add two new modernized preschool classrooms. We will have a new entrance and parking lot off Virginia Court, which will streamline traffic flow and drop off around the building.
This is a huge improvement for our school and we are excited to start the 2021-22 school year. Thank you, APS voters, for funding this remodel through the 2016 Bond.
