Dear Attica Central School District Community,
As the seasons begin to change, so too does our school district, with visible progress continuing on the capital improvement project approved by voters in May 2024.
Work began in earnest at the elementary school over Winter Recess, and I am pleased to share that Phase I is nearing completion on Prospect Street. This phase includes the creation of two new first-floor suites designed to enhance both safety and student support.
The new nurse’s suite, located adjacent to the main entrance, will streamline the process for families picking up students, eliminating the need to enter the main school. Additionally, a centralized behavioral support suite will bring together our school counselor and psychologists, fostering stronger collaboration and more coordinated care for students.
As Phase I concludes, we will transition into Phase II. This next stage includes a comprehensive renovation of the elementary library and STEAM space, improvements to the parking lot and traffic flow for buses and parent pick-up/drop-off, and the addition of a new playground and covered outdoor canopy area.
Construction on the playground is anticipated to begin in April, while parking lot and traffic pattern improvements are scheduled for the summer months when school is not in session.
This spring, residents will also see the start of construction on a new maintenance facility. This 60’ x 85’ building, located south of the middle school parking lot near Alumni Field and the entrance to our nature trail, will provide essential space for storing district vehicles and equipment, improving efficiency and long-term operations.
Looking ahead, the full capital project is expected to be completed by January 2027. When finished, our district will benefit from enhanced safety features, updated infrastructure, and modernized learning environments that better support student success.
I remain deeply grateful for the community’s support in approving this project. Your investment reflects a shared commitment to our students and the future of our district. These improvements will not only create safer and more engaging spaces, but also expand opportunities for learning, innovation, and growth.
Thank you for your continued support of our schools, students, and staff.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kiel Illg
Superintendent of Schools
