Good Afternoon, Rowe Families! 

I am writing to provide an update on the exciting happenings/developments of our main playground! 

What has happened since the last update? 

We are grateful to the Yarmouth School Department facilities team in their successful coordination of, and their hard work removing the old natural playground elements, and working with contractors to bring the ground up to a flat grade. They have been so flexible as we worked to ensure our learners continued to have access to outdoor play during this time. 

What's next? 

Beginning tomorrow, November 5, a crew from the Town of Yarmouth will be at Rowe School removing the old structures and preparing the ground for our new equipment, which is scheduled to begin installation this Saturday, November 8. This means the main playground area is going to be closed to students and the community until the project is finished. At this point, the estimated time for completion is 2-3 weeks. 

We are excited to soon welcome a new main structure and new bays of regular swings for our students! Check out a little sneak peek (stock photo) of our new main structure below. 

During this time of exciting and much needed renovation on our playground, we will once again flex our outdoor play spaces for the children to ensure they continue to have access to outdoor play each day. You may hear your child coming home with new and exciting experiences that sound different from the start of the year! 

As always, please never hesitate to let me know if you have any questions. 

Thank you,

Kelli
