In summer 2016, Sweetbriar Elementary and Reynolds Middle School started construction on new secured entries and other safety upgrades. On Monday, February 27, both schools will complete their transition to their new main entries.
These improvements are part of District-wide safety and security upgrades being completed thanks to a bond measure passed in 2015.

The Reynolds School District is forging ahead with construction projects funded by a $125 million bond and is inviting local and minority contractors to see if they want to participate in the construction.
This district is building three new elementary schools and undertaking a big remodel of Reynolds High School. Other schools will get improvements and all schools will get safety and security upgrades.
"It is important to celebrate these schools as we move into construction, say goodbye to the buildings that have served students for many years and look forward to the opportunities the new buildings and improvements will bring," Superintendent Linda Florence said in a statement.

Reynolds School District selects Bremik Construction, LCG Pence Construction, Skanska USA as general contractors for school bond construction projects.
General contractors have been selected for the Reynolds School District 2015 Bond Projects. LCG Pence Construction will make major renovations and additions to Reynolds High School. Skanska USA will replace Fairview Elementary School and Wilkes Elementary School. Bremik Construction will replace Troutdale Elementary School and construct safety and security upgrades in all other district schools.
The three new elementary schools will be built on their existing sites while students continue attending their current schools this year and during the 2017/2018 school year. Old schools will then be taken down and outside fields / play areas constructed in their place, while students attend the new schools.
Additions and renovations in Reynolds High School will be staged to allow students and programming to continue within the school during construction.
“Completing these major projects successfully with minimal impact to students and staff is a complex puzzle with many moving parts,” says District Superintendent Linda Florence. “The District selected the contractors based on their ability to uphold the highest standards of safety during construction and to deliver the projects on time and within budget.”
