How long will the construction last?

Shovels went into the ground on April 15, 2024.

We expect construction on our final building expansion to be completed in early 2025.

Who will be doing

the construction?

We hired Maple Reinders Construction Company to complete our building addition.

Maple Reinders has a long history with JKCS! They built our original school building in Mississauga and the previous two additions at our current location in Oakville.

What safety measures are put in place to ensure our students are safe?

Maple Reinders employs a health and safety officer for the construction site to ensure all safety measures are followed.

Outdoor fencing and indoor plywood walls will ensure that the site is not accessed by any students or staff.

How will the construction vehicles and contractors’ vehicles access the school’s property?

Hydro One granted our school access to the road on the south side of our property. All construction vehicles and contractors’ vehicles will be coming onto our property via that road and will not have access to the front entrance of our property.

Will my child’s classroom be changed or moved?

Some classrooms and specialty areas will move once the total building is ready in early 2025.

Watch for announcements to come closer to the end of construction.

Will students be able to access the school gym?

Yes! Students can access the gym for their Phys. Ed. classes, music classes, assemblies, and weekly chapels.

In early 2025, we will gain access to our second gymnasium!

Will other parts of the school be impacted by the building expansion?

Yes. The Student Support Services department will be located in the new Primary Library until early 2025.

Once construction is complete, Student Support Services will be relocated into the classroom located in the school lobby.

How will construction affect drop off and pick up?

The drop-off and pick up procedures will not change during our building expansion.

Where can I park if I come to the school during construction?

For temporary visits, to pick up your child for an appointment or to drop off a forgotten lunch, you may park on Sheridan Garden Drive.

If you are coming to the school for a meeting or to volunteer, please park at ClearView Church and walk over to the school. Please park in the EAST side of the parking lot, away from the church building. Parking spaces closest to the church should be left open for church staff, visitors, and volunteers.

Please do not park at Wildwood Academy or at FCT. We do not have permission to use their parking lots, and your vehicle may be tagged or towed.

Where will students spend recess?

Construction began on May 6. Since then, our back field and side playground have been closed to students. The back field and side playground will not open until early 2025, when construction is complete.

Between 9:00 am and 3:00 pm, our school parking lot is closed and converted to outdoor recess space for Grade 3-8 students. Our creative teaching team has brainstormed some great activities to keep our students happy!

Students will still have recess at staggered times to keep the number of students in the parking lot limited to manageable and safe numbers.
