Parents; Gary ISD, in coordination with the county, is currently working on improvements to the road around the school. The project will include adding double lanes starting from the administration building and merging back to a single lane behind the elementary gym. Additionally, the entire road will be repaved.
Construction is expected to be completed by the end of Fall Break. While we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, please rest assured that we are taking steps to minimize any disruptions to school traffic.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
