On Monday, May 15, we will begin the much-anticipated construction of our new Cayuga Heights Auditorium. We will be closing our Cayuga Heights Playground for up to three days beginning Monday, May 15 to allow our construction crews time to install preventative safety fencing around the playground, which will allow for a clear separation between the work taking place and our children at play. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that the construction may cause. Please feel free to monitor our District website, where we will provide regular updates on the progress of our projects at Capital Project 2021. Thank you for understanding.
There's new guidance for families about the use of COVID-19 tests. Find it on Depew's COVID-19 webpage and here: https://5il.co/1u8b9
