Although construction is nearing an end on the new Seaman Middle School, there is still a great deal left to be done. One major task that has yet to be completed is moving all of the books, equipment, and other miscellaneous items that will be reused from the old middle school. The moving process is expected to take up the majority of November and December, and should be all done by the end of Winter Break.
“We start moving some of the industrial tech equipment on Nov. 10; Dec.1, we are moving the library, and Dec.14, we start moving the wellness room exercise equipment,” said SMS Principal Traci Hammes.
Teachers will have to move their personal belongings to the new middle school themselves.
“ All teachers will start moving classroom belongings and must be moved out of their room by Dec. 18,” said Hammes.
With the exception of the students, nearly every other SMS staff member will participate substantially. The role of the students will be a minor one, only requiring them to move personal items.
“They will move their belongings out of their current locker to their new locker,” said Hammes.
Even though most of the moving will have taken place by mid December, students will wait until then to move their belongings.
“ Students will move their books/personal belongings on Dec. 17,” said Hammes
Despite the new SMS’ proximity to the old, movers will be hired to move the items the school owns.
“The district will hire moving help,” said Hammes. Summary of the construction work done on the new SMS
