Rocky Hill and The Capitol Region Education Council (CREC) are set to team up, as the Council’s new magnet elementary school splits a 10-acre campus with an intermediate school for grades four and five starting in 2017.
It will have 20 classrooms in a building of 58,610 square feet. Officials hypothesize that 430 students will be able to enroll, helping the other two elementary schools ease overcrowding.
This is the first project on which a regional and suburban district have worked together to combat school segregation and aid minority students. It is part of the town's plan to be more active in the Department of Education's Open Choice program, which starts around the time the intermediate school opens. Separate buildings will house the two schools, but there are possibilities for them to share parking lots, playgrounds, and walkways. In total, 30 students from Hartford in kindergarten through third grade will have enrollment slots reserved, while 60 others will be for open choice.
The CREC also applied for the Academy of Aerospace & Engineering Elementary school, which covers pre-K through grade five in its temporary placement on Brook Street.
School systems often use Banners to welcome new students into new schools. If this is the case and plans come to fruition, three unique yet colorful sets of Banners will need to be produce.Get a Free Quote for Banners
