Principal's Message
Dear Soleado School Community,

I would like to update you about work the District is doing regarding our facilities. Almost all our buildings are at least 50 years old. While our Maintenance and Operations team does a great job keeping them looking good, significant infrastructure work needs to be done at almost every site including electrical capacity and wiring, updated plumbing and bathrooms, roofing, data communication wiring, etc.  

Here at Soleado we established a site facilities team last Spring 2019, made up of teachers, parents, and staff in order to provide input on our school’s facility needs to the district wide Facility Advisory Committee. As a result of this work some of our top priorities here at Soleado are:
  • Repaving upper and lower asphalt and modernizing both the Kindergarten and 1st-5th playgrounds
  • Security cameras, replacing and increasing fencing around the school to define a single forced-entry point
  • New heating and air conditioning system
We’re making progress, and I will keep you updated as discussions continue. I am very glad that site input has been asked for on multiple occasions and I am hopeful that we reach a solution soon about how we can repair and upgrade our facilities. And, as always, thank you for your support of our students. 

Best,
Michele Marcus
