Armin Jahr Elementary Replacement

Coming in Fall 2025:  Armin Jahr’s Interim School Campus

3/14/25 update

We're thrilled to share some exciting updates as we progress with the design, planning, and early 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 summer. 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 will be learning together in a secure interim campus adjacent to the East Bremerton Community Gym starting this fall. We want to share some key highlights with you now, and assure you that more detailed information will be provided throughout the spring and summer.

Interim campus highlights:

• Modular buildings: As shown in the rendering below, in addition to the gym, the campus will feature comfortable modular buildings for classrooms, the office, the library, and more.

• Modern facilities: Restrooms will have running water and flushable toilets. The gym will be used for PE, lunches and

• Security: Student safety is our top priority. The campus will be secured with perimeter fencing and security cameras throughout.

• Transportation: Transportation will be provided for all Armin Jahr students. 

  • For safety reasons, walking to and from the interim campus will not be permitted.

  • Information on parent drop-off/pick up is forthcoming.

We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for our students and families and will continue to update our families and community through the spring and summer.
