Armin Jahr Elementary Interim Campus
Now open: Armin Jahr’s Interim School Campus
Things are moving right along with preparations for the construction of our new Armin Jahr Elementary School!
As you know, Armin Jahr and View Ridge will be built concurrently, with construction scheduled to begin this fall! Our target move-in date for the new Armin Jahr school building is December 2026. Due to site limitations, Armin Jahr will be rebuilt on its current site, necessitating the demolition of the existing school.
This means we are learning together in a secure interim campus adjacent to the East Bremerton Community Gym during construction!
Interim campus highlights:
-
Modular buildings: As shown in the rendering on the right, in addition to the gym, the campus features comfortable modular buildings for classrooms, the office, the library, and more.
-
Modern facilities: Restrooms has running water and flushable toilets. The gym will be used for PE, lunches and rainy day recess.
-
Security: Student safety is our top priority. The campus is secured with perimeter fencing and security cameras throughout.
Transportation Information
For safety reasons, walking to and from the Interim Campus will not be permitted.
Address for Temporary Campus: 2810 Spruce Ave., Bremerton, WA 98310
Bus transportation
No pick-up or drop-off is allowed at the back of campus (near the Boys & Girls Club). School District buses and community partner shuttles/vans will use this for pick-up and drop-off. No cars will be allowed in the bus loop.
In addition to the regular Armin Jahr bus routes B, D & F, we’ve added an additional route (Y) for all Armin Jahr students who live in the “walk zone” around the old school. Please note: Transportation will not be provided for open enrollment or choice transfer students.
