Atwater to get new elementary school, expected to serve up to 600 students

A new 10 acre elementary school will be constructed on the northwest corner of Juniper Avenue and Bridgewater Street in the City of Atwater.

The elementary school would serve up to 600 students in grades TK-6 and be staffed by up to 45 employees. The campus is expected to have 27 classrooms, administrative offices, a multi-purpose building, hardcourt areas and athletic fields.

The school would be in regular session on weekdays from late August to early June, but may host special events and classes during evenings, on weekends, and during summer recess.

Construction of the project would begin in late 2021, with operation of the proposed elementary school beginning in August 2023.
