Regular maintenance prevents costly repair and extends the life of our school buildings, maximizing the value of our community's investment in education. Maintaining our schools is also critical for the learning environment.
Our maintenance staff works tirelessly behind the scenes to keep our buildings functioning well and in top condition with comfortable temperature, proper lighting, and well-functioning equipment. We work to create and maintain a safe, healthy, and inspiring space, contributing to a positive learning experience for all students.
Our dedicated custodial staff plays a vital role in ensuring a positive and productive learning environment in our schools. They go far beyond keeping our buildings sparkling clean. Custodians are our first line of defense, ensuring buildings meet high safety standards and assisting with security measures. They help set up facilities for community groups, and work collaboratively with teachers, ensuring classrooms are well-prepared for learning. During summer break, they conduct thorough cleaning, ensuring schools are fresh and ready for the new year. Custodial staff often build positive relationships with students, offering encouragement and support.
