We're thrilled to share that the 2020 voter-approved Capital Project is progressing smoothly!
Here's what's happening:
**Stair Removal**: We are removing a set of stairs to pave the way for a new wheelchair platform lift, enhancing accessibility for all.
**Safe Vestibule**: The front entrance is being transformed into a secure vestibule, providing a safe and comfortable waiting area for visitors before entering the building.
These upgrades are essential steps in ensuring our school is welcoming and accessible to everyone. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to make Cahill Elementary the best it can be!
