For those with children currently attending Preston PS:
As you know, children from the Pioneer Tower area attending Preston PS are currently scheduled to move to Grand View PS in September 2011.
On February 10th, the Waterloo Region District School Board held a meeting detailing the plans for the new Grand View PS. While the plans for the new school look very nice, it will not be ready in September 2011 as originally proposed earlier this year. The school will not be ready for occupancy until March 2012 at the earliest. In addition, demolition of the old school and construction of the bus drop off and parking lot areas cannot begin until the new school is complete.
Because of the construction delay, and based on feedback from the Pioneer Tower area parents in attendance at the meeting, the Planning Department is going to request that the School Board vote to delay moving children from Preston PS to Grand View PS until September 2012.
If you have questions or would like to express your support for (or against) delaying the move, please contact Nathan Hercanuck at the WRDSB Planning Department:
