What is all the construction? It looks like they
are building a huge side addition. Are they expanding
the school?

4th & 5th grade are currently in portable classrooms. The construction will be completed before the 2015-2016 school year starts, and then those kids will move into the new space. They are also going to renovate/modernize the central, oldest part of the school this summer.

Yes--got in OOB for PK3--they significantly shrunk Powell boundaries this year. We were formerly in bounds, rezoned to Barnard, ranked Powell #1 and got in OOB this year.

We also got in PK3 OOB. We ranked Powell high on our list. I think they shrank the boundaries so much from last year - cutting out most of the residential neighborhood density-- that they had room for all IB and some OOB this year.

This is drastic change from last year. The PK3 waiting list had 40 IB families. Guess this upcoming school year is great OOB candidates.
