Townsend Elementary held an evacuation drill earlier this week. During the drill, staff and students evacuated the building, following established procedures. After exiting the school, they went to pre-determined safe areas before returning to Townsend. The drill helps teach students what happens should situations arise where an evacuation is necessary. Thank you to the Village of Walton Police Department for helping with this drill! #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride

Construction at Townsend Elementary is coming along! The current project is currently on schedule and the district is in final preparations for the start of school year. Walton CSD will open on schedule – September 5 for students! The project includes: - The demolition of ceilings, classroom, and corridor walls in four second-floor fifth-grade classrooms, as well as an upstairs restroom. This allows for the removal and asbestos abatement of the original lightweight concrete floor deck system. - Removal and replacement of ceilings in the cafeteria, four offices, a downstairs restroom, and a first-floor corridor to allow for removal of the second-floor deck, as well as installation of structural steel reinforcement before the installation of a new metal floor deck. - Also, installation of a metal floor deck and pouring of a new lightweight concrete floor deck system, reconstruction and installation of new finishes within the second-floor fifth-grade wing classrooms and corridor; and installation of new unit ventilators within the second-floor fifth-grade classrooms. As of August 9, all required demolition of existing finishes and systems, as well as the installation of structural steel, metal floor deck, and lightweight concrete have been completed. In the upcoming weeks, the reconstruction of the first-floor ceilings will be completed, along with furnishing the classrooms and the final cleaning. The first-floor areas that are part of the project will be ready for use at the start of the 2024-25 school year. Second-floor work in classrooms and corridor walls will continue into the school year, with the rooms and the corridor remaining unoccupied during the first half of the year. The anticipated finish date for this is November 2024. #WeAreWalton #WaltonCSD #WaltonPride
