Reynolds School District is starting the school year with three new schools, built to offer outstanding energy efficiency and a more productive learning environment. Funded by a $125 million bond passed by local voters, the elementary schools – Fairview, Troutdale and Wilkes – are replacing older buildings and all share the same high-performance design.

In you weren't able to attend any of the bond project ribbon cuttings, or if you'd just like to relive the experience, we've put together a series of videos that showcase the events. You can also watch the full speeches from all of the stakeholders that spoke at the events.

There were lots of new backpacks, shrieks of joy upon greeting friends, nervous smiles and even a few tears around the kindergarten classrooms as students in East Multnomah County headed back to classrooms this week.

While most students returned for the 2018-19 school year on Tuesday Sept. 4, kids attending the new Wilkes, Troutdale and Fairview elementary schools opened a day late, on Sept. 5, because much of the furniture for the new schools was tardy in being delivered.

Designed by BLRB Architects and built by general contractor Bremik Construction, the project is one of three new elementary school replacements carried out by the Reynolds district in recent years as part of a $125 million bond measure passed by voters in 2015.
