School Update and Pictures

The new principal of Alpine Elementary started on April 14, so now I am focused completely on Black Ridge. The staff at Riverview Elementary in Saratoga Springs has generously offered me office space at their school. If you need to meet with me or contact me, you can do so by email (camiannelarsen@alpinedistrict.org) or by calling 801-610-8726.

I attended the construction meeting at Black Ridge last Wednesday and things are progressing right on schedule. Many areas of the school have been painted and most of the tile work is complete. Carpet is being laid in a few areas as well. The school will have four hallways on each floor. Each hallway has a color to help you find your way. See the pictures below for some updates.

Finally, most of our staff should be in place by the end of the month. I am in the process of hiring a custodian, secretary, and media specialist. The majority of the teachers have been hired too. Once things have been finalized, I will give you a list of our staff members. I am very excited about the people we have coming to our school!
