The CBE has declared that the new elementary school in New Brighton will house only K-3 students the first year. Grade 4 students are slated to attend the 5-9 middle school being built in the community. Due to the delay in the opening of the middle school (Jan 2017), and the concerns of parents, we are collecting names of those who would like to approach the CBE regarding allowing the 2016/17 Grade 4 class to attend at the new elementary school in September 2016. This would enable the students to attend school in the community rather than at an alternate school, while they wait for the middle school to open.

I am currently compiling our formal request to the school board to address these location concerns directly. Please email your local school board trustee today to insist that our fourth graders remain in their community for the full school year.

Do the right thing here, make the school k-4 and let the grade 4 kids start when the rest of the kids do.
The acadia school is too crowded. The kids need smaller classes sand better spaces to learn.
Shouldnt have to pay for busING if there is a school around the corner my child can attend!! 22 Brightondale SE
It is in the best interest of my child to walk to her community school rather than being bused passed the school to a community 20 mins away.
My daughter is going into grade 4 and was heart broken when she found out she wouldn't be walking to school that is right next to our house.
The grade 4's at the new school would be great
Please let the grade 4s attend
