Dear Haven Bay Parents, Guardians and Employees,

The new school year is fast approaching and we are looking forward to the opening of Weber School District’s newest elementary school. This email is a follow-up to the message we sent in July regarding the 2024-25 school year at Haven Bay.

Our contractors have been working hard and great progress has been made towards the school’s completion! We are nearly there! There are a few inspection items that need to be finished up and once completed we will be given building occupancy.

We are now looking at two scenarios. They are as follows:

Scenario 1

The school will open on September 3, 2024, with the majority of the building ready for occupancy. In this scenario, two wings will be walled off from use while construction in these areas is completed. 

There will be certain aesthetic items that still need to be finished and the work in these areas will be ongoing. Construction during the day will be closed off from areas where the children are attending school. The children will not be in areas where construction workers are present.

Scenario 2

We will combine the Haven Bay school community with two nearby elementary schools for a short period of time. In this scenario, our Haven Bay students will be accommodated in the neighboring schools while occupancy is achieved. The students will begin school on August 21, 2024.

Our final reviews at Haven Bay will be taking place on August 13, 2024. If we are granted permission for occupancy our Scenario 1 will be implemented.  If the final review indicates the need for extended time, then Scenario 2 will be employed. 

We will send notice of the decision and next steps on August 14th.

We are looking forward to this new educational setting for your children, and we will keep you informed as we progress.

Sincerely,

Gina Butters, Superintendent
