Barrington School Prepares for New Roof Amid Staff Parking Adjustments

As the summer days wane, the anticipation of a new school year fills the air at Shawnee Heights. With K-eight principals returning to their buildings, preparations are in full swing for the upcoming academic season. The excitement is palpable as the team gears up to meet and finalize plans for a successful start.

One of the key discussions during the recent Board of Education meeting centered on the ongoing roof replacement project at Barrington. With students and staff set to return soon, the board addressed logistical challenges posed by the construction. Currently, rock has been laid on the east side of the school to accommodate parking needs, as roofers will require space for their materials. This temporary solution aims to ease parking concerns while ensuring that the roofing work proceeds smoothly.

The board expressed optimism about the new roof, emphasizing its importance for the long-term stability of the building. "We're going to get a new roof on all of Barrington," a board member noted, highlighting the project's significance. The hope is that this investment will provide a solid and lasting structure for years to come.

As preparations continue, the community looks forward to the return of students and the promise of a fresh start, all under the shelter of a new roof that symbolizes a commitment to their education and well-being.
