There are exciting changes coming to Meadow Park. Our School is scheduled to have significant and much needed work completed using Measure E Funds. Rather than having the work spread out over multiple years, our students and families will experience the benefits of Measure E upgrades in the 2019-2020 school year.
Due to the large volume of work on the Meadow Park campus, our school will be relocated to El Camino Elementary School (4782 Karen Ann Ln., Irvine) for the 2018-2019 school year. El Camino is located near Yale Avenue near Walnut. Below is some information that we have to date. Please check back throughout the year for updates about the temporary relocation.
reason for temporary relocation:
- Student and staff safety – Meadow Park will be an active construction site with several work crews, construction equipment and vehicles. In addition, there will also be debris, dust and noise that generally accompanies such projects.
- Minimal disruption to the learning environment for our students. Our students will be in a learning space that is comparable to Meadow Park, without the disruption and safety concerns of heavy construction on campus.
- Rather than spreading the work out over multiple years, which would make our school an ongoing and active construction site, the work will be done within a one-year timeframe. This means, our students and families will experience the benefits of Measure E upgrades in the 2019-2020 school year.
timeframe for the relocation:
- Summer 2018 – Teachers and school will relocate to El Camino
- August 2018 – Meadow Park students will attend school for the 2018-19 school year
- Summer 2019 – Teachers and school will move back into Meadow Park
- August 2019 – Students will return to the upgraded Meadow Park campus
Information about El Camino Elementary:
- El Camino has been in use as a functioning site for an adult education program, a Japanese school and IUSD professional development programs. In recent years, it was also used to temporarily house students from Deerfield Elementary School.
- During the 2018-19 school year, Meadow Park students will be the only students attending El Camino. All other programs will be relocated to other facilities.
- Although the site is in good condition, over the course of the next year, IUSD will make some improvements to the campus to ready it for our arrival. Meadow Park staff, along with the Facilities team will work to ensure El Camino feels like a special home for our students and families.
Transportation:
- IUSD will make bussing available, at no cost, to all Meadow Park families.
- IUSD is working with our team to determine the safest drop off/pick up zones.
- More details will follow on bussing in the months ahead.
Rainbow Rising:
- Rainbow Rising will be available on the El Camino school campus.
- It will also be available in the summer of 2018.
Next Steps:
- The Meadow Park team will continue to meet with the District’s Facilities and Construction team, taking into account feedback from the parent meeting and subsequent feedback. We will continue to provide ongoing updates to the Meadow Park Community.
- The District will continue to work closely with Principal Potwora and the Meadow Park staff to address questions and/or concerns.
