Chester Valley Elementary School
Addition and Renewal
Chester Valley Elementary School will be renovated during the 2009-10 school year. During that time the school will be closed and classes will relocate to Kennedy Elementary School on Fort Richardson Army Post.
The district will make every effort to make the move a positive experience for parents and students. There will be many questions about the year-long relocation. The information below should address many concerns. Further questions may be directed to Chester Valley Principal Heather Mildon.

Building Design Committee
In April 2008 voters approved a bond proposition that included funding for addition to and renewal of Chester Valley Elementary School. The school was originally built in 1964 and while well-maintained, its building systems are worn out, maintenance intensive to repair and operate, and do not include required components for energy efficiency. Handouts, minutes and presentations from the Building Design Committee meetings are available below:
